It had been a weird day for me today. I opened an IRA with all my Xmas money. For more on that, see the Annoying Things thread. Anyways, as I realized I am no longer, nor will ever again, be Young, watching me try to come to grips with that Mrs. Rookie made a suggestion. Perhaps I take a vacation this summer. She is spending the weekend with friends this summer. And maybe I could do with a weekend going out fishing. I get a camping trip this summer! I haven't taken a vacation since before I lost my job in '08. And it'll be a real vacation at the beach. Two nights, three days of fishing and smoking cigars and there may be a trip to the tourist beach to see who's wearing a bikini. Yes yes, I'm a pig. But with that kind of pass, one I know damn well I'm never going to get again, yeah. I'll be a pig who enjoys the view with a cold beer in my hand.
