Recharging The Batteries

The purpose of a vacation is to get away from the "daily grind" and take some time to "recharge the batteries".  Returning from a two week absence from this desk, I arrived early this morning refreshed, rejuvenated and ready to rock and roll.  Then I opened my e-mail program to find over 600 news releases, messages and other correspondance that needed to be opened and dealt with.  My batteries quickly discharged as I was bogged down in that tedious task for several hours.  Just another hazard of living in the digital age I guess, but it is quicker than opening envelopes.  By the way, it's amazing how quickly you can slide back into the normal work routine after 14 days of fun in the sun.  Thanks to John Warren for keeping Dave Walter company while I was gone.
