The schools call it mid-winter break.  I call it propaganda; something dreamed up by the school system to allow them 30 weeks of vacation through out the year.  Yes, I'm bitter and jealous especially because  I'm home working and have too much to do AND am on call 24/7.  Best I can do is invite more kids over & let them have a ball destroying the house.  

Talked to a guy about the possibility of purchasing 12 acres he has in the woods.  No electricity or running water, no passible road...  I think it would be cool to have a well dug and then attach an old hand pump.    I'm doing alot of dreaming about this land I cannot afford...but what is life if you have no dreams or aspirations?
