Hey, we've been there, man, and it looks like that's where we are headed this year, as well. We've been known to take advantage of the slowing of traffic and the dissipation of the crowds to enjoy such mundane tasks as laundry or scarfing free pecans on the sidewalk or finding lost golfballs on the very days and nights that the rest of the world is popping corks and toasting good times. Don't feel sorry for us. We revel in it. But you know, time away from the mad, mad crowd doesn't always have to suck.
Time alone can rule.
It can change your perspective on the planet. It can drop blood pressure to safe levels. It can make you treasure what you don't have right at that instant, right at your fingertips. It can make you love people all over again. Okay, we'll see you at the party.
