I will be visiting my family in Ohio in June, which I am very excited about, but that is not the only little vacation I'll be taking. My wife and I are planning a little trip sometime during the summer or fall, probably July or September. We've talked about New York City or California (would likely be around San Francisco). More likely, however, is that we've talking about going to Las Vegas. I've never been there, but Megan has. She said it was great fun, and that there's lots of fun things to do that don't include gambling. (Or showgirls.) Lots of shows and that kind of thing. So that could be interesting, and it's another state to remove from my states-I've-never-been-to list (currently includes 13 states).
On a related note, I've gotten a bump up in how much vacation days I'm receiving at work, and so now I'm actually earning around an extra 4 days of vacation per year. Which is really rather exciting, as I've been rather low on that lately. Now, I will not only have days for the Ohio trip, the trip with Megan, and going to Ohio for Thanksgiving, but I am hoping to be able to start working TECs again (I need 1 or 1.5 days of vacation each time I work one). Those are great fun and great experiences, and I had worked 3 as an adult, but now haven't worked one for a year, which is no good at all.
In other news, I've just about completed another round of edits on The Lords of Sargoff. I'm pretty happy with it right now, even though I know that there's certainly more work to go. If anyone would like the current version to read (or re-read), let me know and I'll send it over (it's currently just over 67,000 words, or approximately 269 pages).

You'll have to let me know when you're thinking of applying to work a TEC again. I also, have been unable to work one in quite some time, although the website still shows the Rector and Rectora of one I worked. They must miss me. ;-)
The next upcoming one is in Mankato in July, which I have been thinking about applying for since it's relatively close. The other is in October at my church home of approximately 18 years. That would be so much fun to work at!
Las Vegas is loads of fun, and there is tons to do that doesn't involve alcohol, gambling, etc. I went with Dad when I was 20ish. Not to mention, if you watch carefully, it is *cheap*. Cheap flights, hotels - you name it! If only Star Trek: The Experience was still open.... :-( (though they are rebuilding it in downtown LV)
