Sometimes we all work too hard.. the last several weeks it seems that everyone I know is putting in longer hours than they like, .. doing more work and feeling more behind. Maybe it’s my own perspective from work.. or maybe it’s something esle.. .. Dunno

Tonight we decided to take a partial break from it all. Gabe and I went out to dinner.. then to the hardware store for a school project he’s working on… (being in a hardware store doesn’t count as work to me, though) .. We got back around 9.. both of us had a ton of homework… but instead of doing it.. we all went outside and dug a snow fort.. or actually.. a 17 foot snow tunnel. through the huge mound of snow left by the guy who plows our driveway.. It took us an hour of time which could have been used to to write gabe’s paper on Einstein.. or my work project.. or Matt’s chemistry homework.. or Ian’s algebra.. but.. instead it went into digging snow.. lots of snow..  and it was well worth it.. How can you weigh on-time homework to that magical feeling when you reach through he last hole that separates the two ends of the tunnel and shake hands with the other end..

sometime you just have to goof off…    We’ll pay for it tomorrow.. but now it feels good

ite all, nite sam
