    Hey, we did the same thing this summer, watched tv. I did not even get
    my new home pc built yet even though I bought the parts a year ago.

    Back before I retired, I would take a week off three times a year.

    Sometimes I would do the more strenous and time-consuming cleanups.

    Sometimes I would hike over and watch one or two movies each day.

    Sometimes I would enhance my computer system, such as by buying a
    scanner and then getting it to work with my SCSI setup.

    But one week I did nothing much else than play the Windows 3.1
    Minesweeper (remember that?) in advanced mode. By the end of the week
    I was doing quite well.

    Now that I'm retired, of course, every week is a week off -- and so no
    week is.

    Such is life.

    I like that. I have said that sometimes I'm tempted to go back to work
    just so I can have a day off.
