I just realized that I haven’t checked my work email since Friday. Friday afternoon, at that. Not that I didn’t try, mind you… both hotels that claimed to have Internet access didn’t in my particular part of the hotel or only had it in the common areas. Because of our tight schedule up in Bar Harbor, there was no time to hit up a Starbucks or whatever and today, well, today has been a fun lesson in how to deal with 3 inches of water covering a quarter of your basement plus a bonus physics lesson on capillary action in carpets.

There’s something nice about not actually checking your work email. This probably is the longest I’ve gone without doing so in quite some time. Maybe since I was in New Zealand? Nah, even there I think I fired the laptop up a couple of times during the ten days I was there.

So, I think I’m going to avoid signing in for the rest of the night and curl up on the couch with What’s the Matter with Kansas? by Thomas Frank.

Update: damn… noticed something up with the site, had to log in to check on it…
