I am sitting here at my desk waiting for the day to end. Despite the fact that I have a tremendous amount of work to do, I feel terribly unmotivated to accomplish any of it. It does not help that the sounds of dozens of small children playing in the yard of the daycare center directly behind our building are filling my office. Some days it gets rather loud back there and I have to close my window so that I can concentrate. Today I am finding myself staring at them playing their silly games. I wish I could go out and play too.
I do not have any spectacular plans for the long weekend but I am really looking forward to it nevertheless. Much to my wife’s dismay, my saltwater fishing season starts tomorrow. I am helping a friend put in his boat for the season and then we are going to head out to the ledges off of Phippsburg and fish for cod. My oldest daughter is marching with her Girl Scouts troop on Memorial Day in the local parade. I love parades, especially small town ones. Monday is also supposed to be insanely warm for this time of year in Maine - nearly 80 degrees. With weather like that, I might have to take the kids to the beach. Other than that, I plan on working in the yard and using my grill for every meal possible.
I hope all of you have an enjoyable weekend.
