Once again it’s budget time at the marina. This happens every year just as I lose my summer staff and the weather is at its hottest. Business is still brisk and every spare moment I am huddled over this computer crunching numbers.
I have decided to take a break from computing for a few weeks. When I get home at night these days I don’t feel like pulling out the laptop and spending another hour or two with my nose to the monitor. I just don’t have the energy right now. All I really want to do is put my feet up, have a cool beverage, and get to bed early.
I didn’t want y’all worrying about me, I am fine. I just need this time to take care of business and get through the last of the blazing summer heat. I’ll be returning to post again after Sunday September 16th. That is the weekend of the Leukemia Cup Regatta and I should have some good pictures to share after the event.
Because I won’t be spending too much time online between now and then, I will be turning my alerts off for now. I’ll turn them back on again in mid-September. In the meantime, I wish everyone the very best and I hope everyone makes it through Labor Day Weekend safe and sound. Take care, and I’ll see you in September.

Take some well earned time out ,look forward to your return when you are ready ..love Jan xx
I understand the need for a break from journals Sam, I've not been online much myself recently. Journalling takes up so much time, when I tried to get back online last week I had a Trojan virus so had another weeks enforced break! Anyway, have a good break and I'm looking forward to seeing the pics of the Leukemia Cup Regatta, a subject close to my heart as I know lots of kids from work with this awful disease. Take care, enjoy summer and we'll see you mid September!
PS. If you don't want all that heat I'll gladly take some off you, it's cold, wet and blowing a gale over here right now! Jeannette xx
Enjoy the rest of your summer....and I look forward to hearing from you again in September : )
hugs,
Tracie
I understand, as I'll be doing the same thing soon, LOL. Look forward to seeing the photos! Best wishes!
Business comes first Sam, we'll be seeing you next month.
enjoy the break... look forward to hearing from you soon

I'm amazed at how much time I can spend reading journals!! I think we all need a good break from the computer now and again. I might think about doing that one of these days! Enjoy your break!! Linda
Thanks for letting us know....

You deserve a break my friend. Have some fun! Tammy
See you on the high side of September. Watch the weather both for heat and for hurricanes, and check your email occasionally for family news.
Dear Sam, I"ve missed your entries, was offline for quite a while. When I got back on there was no way I could catch up. Now, here I am checking in and you're getting ready to check out. Hope you enjoy every minute of your break. You deserve it. My best to you and your wife.
love and prayers,

I've missed your entries and will look forward to hearing from you in Sept. Don't work too hard. Anne
If I lived anywhere close to the ocean I wouldn't have any use for a computer because I would be out there every chance I could get. Will miss you and see you in September. I will be looking forward to the new pictures.
You take all the time you need Sam, sometimes computers can get a bit too much for anyone. :o)
Love Sandra xx
Ditto what Jan said. I'm going to a service by the Archbishop of Canterbury in New Orleans Sept. 20. Will be anxious to report. Love you and miss the journal. Lynn
Hi !!!!!!!
I can say that sometimes we all need a break from the computer but I can tell you that you will certainly be missed by many. I am sure that if you miss something we will let you know. Do take the time to rest. We will all be waiting for your return to J-Land. Take care and we'll be seeing you when you get back. Until then.......byyyyye !!!!!!!!!!!!
See you in September! ~Diane~
Sam, I for one can sure appreciate crunch time. I wish you a lot of luck moving forward, and very little time having to re-do things. I trust you'll get it done, and I think some R and R will definitely be in order. So once again, good luck.
Jimmy
Ugh! Budgets! Ack! It's that time for me as well at work and this next year, as usual, has many challenges. After a day of crunching those numbers I am just drained, so I completely understand your need for some down time.
And I just realized something...moving one letter in the word ugh transforms it into hug. Now that's one quick way to go from ugh to hug in a flash, eh? :)
See you in September...and now I'm going to have that song playing endlesslly in my mind today. But that's okay.
Dona
Oh, man, I completely get this! My cruch time is the entire month of June as I close out one fiscal year and head in to another. No matter how early I start the prep work, I still get crushed with the work load.
So, as of this writing, I'm thinking you are having a nice tall one for me while you whetting your own whistle!
Happy end of summer. Look forward to seeing your pictures and reading you whenever you return!
Kathy
Enjoy your break Sam ,see you again soon ...Best wishes Jean
