No Lecture Today

July 24, 2009

Happy Birthday to Lois!

Last Friday of July. Your last chance this month to take stock of what you did this week and how well it is working out for you. I urge you to do just that, so next week can be even better!

Since it's a weekend, I'm not going to lecture today. I'll tell you that I'm about to leave for Cedar City Utah to see some plays. As I said a while back, you need to keep recreating even as you seek for new work. The Shakesperean Festival in Cedar City is an unfailing source of well done plays by Shakespeare and others. They're offering great deals this summer because tourism in general is slack. Same is true of Vegas, by the way. If you're from here you know, but if you're not, you can get by incredibly cheaply just now. There's tons of free stuff to do on the strip and nearby, in case you didn't know. Nobody has to gamble at all, either. There are non-gaming hotels, even.

The weather continues muggy (for the Mojave -- 30 percent humidity or so is nasty at 105 degrees.) Rain most evenings. This is not a negative thing to say. In fact, even for a desert, we've been in a nasty drought for the past five years or so. Rain we can use. In fact, if anyone from Chicago reads this, how about you drive to Vegas, trailing a big old straw with its end stuck in Lake Michigan?

Okay, enough rambling for one month. I'll be back Monday with some actual advice. Have a great weekend!
