Complex Numbers

Weekend

Write about your plans for the weekend. If you had 48 hours to do whatever you wanted, no holds barred, how would you spend your time?

I think I kinda covered this in a previous entry. I don't really have weekends.

This (objective) weekend, though, is Memorial Day weekend here in the US, so I know one thing I will not be doing: driving. As I've mentioned before, I like taking road trips. I've been across the country and back what, four times now? Somewhere in that range. Some of them kinda blend together. I'll probably do it again - but not on a holiday weekend. Bad enough I had to drive to New York on Easter weekend this year; that took about three hours longer than usual, and I didn't even go all the way to the city on the first day.

Then there's the fact it's Memorial Day weekend in particular. It's on that day that I always get the urge to visit my father's grave; he's buried at Arlington. Not a long trip for me. And yet, Memorial Day is precisely when I don't want to visit Arlington National Cemetery.

I saw some website yesterday wishing us all a Happy Memorial Day. Some people are still unclear on the concept, I guess.

So, hang around at home, get some organizing done (one hopes), and only leave the house to go to the gym, about a mile and a quarter from me. Normally, I'd add "drink," but I had two beers on Thursday and that's it for me for May while I'm trying to limit my intake of calories. Write. Play video games. Binge something on Netflix.

Sounds boring, right? And yet, I never get bored and never seem to have the time to do everything I want to do.

48 hours? I'd probably spend it in a casino, gambling, smoking cigars, enjoying a wide variety of food, and drinking their comps. And then it'd be back to the usual.

But again - not this weekend. This weekend, I stay home.
