IdoNotes (and sleep)

Since my guest bloggers apparently abandoned me and I am flying to a customer site

I am back (semi) from my technology free week.  I have a two day trip to San Antonio for a customer then a couple more days of rest before I am in full swing.  Here is a quick rundown of what being technology free earned me this week:

• A jump out of an airplane at 12,000 feet on my birthday.  I dragged the wife kicking and screaming with me.  Ok, she never kicked or screamed at all but it was fun seen her about 100 yards away looking back at me with the expression that if we make it down she was kicking my ass.  One of the best things I have even done!!!  Of course, I thought they told me I was on the place to go scuba diving.  Nevermind the parachute, I thought it was air tanks. :p
• Family barbecue time over the holiday.  Playstation 2 was in full effect on the big screens for the teenagers and I took great pride in whooping some of their butts in a few games.
• A chance to catch up doing things in our new house.  It is amazing at how simple it should be to move into empty space right?  Well tell that to the new furniture people, cable installers, sod layers and about every other industry that exists.
• A chance to sleep.  A lot.  The blog title itself should have let you know I planned on that.  Nothing like getting up at 11am with nothing better to do
• No cell phone ringing nonstop.  Turn it off for a couple days, you will feel better.  More time to sleep
• No computer staring in my face.  There was wiring as I finish the way I want the network, but I did not put much effort into that, more naps instead.
• Hanging out with the family and actually cooking how I really like to.  It seems right after work never allows for some of the fun things.  Quickly heading to the grocery store and local produce stand was quite the treat that I miss doing more often
• Heading out until all hours of the night at will.  This of course leads to those late morning sleep ins.
