Sabbatical blog - day two

A day not much unlike yesterday but difference is I'm quickly starting to comprehend the overwhelming sense of freedom that I have right now. It has been much easier to disconnect from work stuff than I originally thought it would.

Kids were at a camp from 9-1 today, so Tricia and I had some good couple time. Actually got to go and sit down at Starbucks with my wife AND have lunch with her. I can't remember the last time we did that and I'm hoping we get to do it again tomorrow. Like Seinfeld says, "love the day date."

I have the road trip to Breckenridge pretty much mapped out. Leaving Friday around 1ish after kids get out of camp. Going to drive to Lubbock and stay there Friday night and hit the road again Saturday morning and endeavor to get there on Saturday night. You never fully comprehend how big Texas is until you have to drive out of it.

Took the kids to the pool again today. No drama this go around so they got to stay longer :). It was wicked hot out there today and I forgot to bring ice water. Won't make that mistake again.

Saw the movie "Public Enemies" tonight at the Drafthouse with Drew. I would give it a '6' on scale of 1-10. Felt less like a "Miami Vice" episode than some of Michael Mann's past movies. Much fewer slow motion scenes and no Eurotrash instrumentals weaved in throughout.

Hit the Dig Pub in Cedar Park for some draft Guinness after the movie. Was good to catch up with Drew and hear how nice and cool it will be in Breckenridge. After that I made an 11:30 pm run to the grocery store to get milk which was not a total waste because "Crazy Life" by Toad the Wet Sprocket was playing over the intercom when I got there.

I wouldn't call it the most productive day in the world, but it did not suck either :).
