Back to Work

Vacation was wonderful. Lots of sun. Lots of cold coronas. Time with the family. It was great! We spent three days in Jacksonville with my family and high school friends and five days with Abby's parents down on Long Key. While we were in the Keys we also took some day trips down to Key West (I had my second cheeseburger in paradise @ Margarittaville...HEAVEN!) and Isla Mirada. One day we snorkeled on a boat my father-in-law rented and got to swim with an enormous sea turtle.

I also had lots of time to kick back and relax. I read Pete Rollins' excellent new book, How (Not) to Speak of God. (I'll post a review of it later.) I even got a chance to do a bit of running over the bridges down there. That was important because it helped to offset the Key Lime Pies, beers, fried calamari, and lobster that I indulged in. Last night when we returned I stepped back on the scale with trepidation and discovered that I had gained 4 pounds. Not too bad for a post-vacation weigh in. That means I'll need to really kick it in the ass to lose 9 pounds by my 9/11 deadline. Now I get to catch up on all of the work that I missed while I was away. Peace.
