Ok, it wasn’t an official day off, but Saturday evening was Pinochle night at the Richmans’. Partner Michael and I took all three games - a first for me.
Sunday eve Geo, Addie and I drove to The Black Sheep for dinner - another first - and it was excellent.
Monday was spent up at the Kamp on the Lake where Geo and I finished closing for the season. First time I can recall closing when the weather was mild enough to pull up a beach chair to the shore, stay awhile and enjoy the wave action and the late afternoon sun. Peace.
Geo gave a talk on Tuesday at the Community College of VT, so Tuesday was a day for me to amble around Burlington. I didn’t shop for anything, but it was nice being downtown without needing to rush around, and that does not happen too often.
On Wednesday Geo and I took in an event at UVM on health issues of Vermont farmers. Very informative. Many of the talks touched on farmworker disabilities and on the unique problems of migrant farmers. I learned a lot, and Geo did some networking, especially with a contact who could speak at the Gov’s Committee on the Employment of People with Disabilities.
Best of all, I've got lots of vacation hours left. Am looking ahead to much more time off and many more firsts.
