Igor used to say, “A change is as good as a rest.” Sometimes, it is. ;o]
I quite concur. But this time, at least, I have a few days to unwind before we take off. I tend to be fairly useless the first three days of a vacation -- sleeping a lot, unenergetic and the like. Decompression. Going to be doubly so this time with the change in my job; I was barely able to function the rest of the day after my meeting ended and I'd passed on the gavel.
Turns out the office isn't closed Thursday, though, so I still have another day. Don't want to hurt my foot with too much walking so our state rep candidate will have to do without me on Friday's parade(s), but the rest of the household will be there helping out.
For my part I'm going into Seattle to be there when a member of our parish becomes an American citizen. A recent e-mail noted the hours and minutes until she is (her words) no longer an Indian citizen -- can you say "excited?"
It's odd: she is a member of our parish for all that she's Hindu. (At communion she receives a blessing -- and she is well loved by the rest of the parish.)
Her husband is Anglican. I once attended a service in his old church in India.
