Good God, I can’t believe I still have two and a half weeks of work left. And yesterday felt like a Friday, but it wasn’t. I know the general population that works a regular 40 hour week and gets a week or two of vacation a year wonders why anyone would need 2-3 months off every year. Well, try working 14 hour days, and Saturdays and sometimes Sundays, and you’ll be ready to rest, too. Because we work so much, the first couple of weeks usually involve recuperation more than relaxation. And this year, I’m rushing right onto a 15 hour plane ride, so no rest for the weary. Except on the plane, of course.

The song of the day is “New Song” by Howard Jones off his 1983 album Human’s Lib. I loved HoJo in the 80s, and though I wasn’t a New Wave kid, I still enjoyed his music, and I dug his look. You certainly couldn’t pull off that hair today. He continues to tour in Europe and other parts of the world. I was never able to see him back in the day. I’m sure he’ll be touring in the U.S. again riding the 80s revival wave, like so many others.
