Remember the Eagles song? I just did: Take it to the Limit....one more time!
I worked, I pushed myself, from the 3 August return from the States through late afternoon/early evening, 4 September, without a day off, pushing myself, taking it to too ridiculous a limit, getting a really bad case of bronchitis/cold/sore throat, et al during that time frame.
I was called during that time to take on more work......I annoyed the hell out of some of those who called, expecting that I would succumb to pleas and do work. Well, all those who called are likely duly pissed off at me, only I really do not give a damn!
I set schedules with adequate time.....What's that, you say - you are sorry that you didn't take heed of my warnings or my schedule.....too damned bad!!!
Yeah, I have an iPad on this trip - to write, to read, to listen to music.....but no email. Yeah, I took my iPhone - in case of a family emergency. Otherwise, I have no idea who has called and either left messages or not - as I am not answering.
Instead, I am having fun! I'm going to the first of 5 baseball games, tonight, in Sendai. It's is going to be a good game, too, with two pitching prospects in what will hopefully be a battle. The game is going to break attendance records - primarily because additional stands that have been built for the playoffs (Rakuten Golden Eagles are in first place in the Pacific League!) will be opening up, tonight.
Anyhow, I'm here in Japan....on vacation.....and liking it!!
