My Bags Are Packed

I'm ready to go.

Every now and then, Stephen Colbert takes a vacation. And every now and then, so do I. Yes, I will be gone for a while and away from my trusty and somewhat rusty computer. So, I won't have any new posts for about two weeks.

Now, I'm not saying that I'm going to England, and I'm not saying I'm going to a wedding. But, I will be somewhere near the ocean and somewhere near the queen, but that's all I can say.

Once I get back, I will start posting again. Maybe by then we will have less snow and more warmth. Maybe even some picnic weather.

See you soon.

Stephen Colbert seems to be on vacation or something. Must be nice. Vacationing somewhere nice and warm. Sitting around by the side of a pool under the shade of a large umbrella and sipping a tall, cool beverage. No work. No worries.

Huh? What's that you say? He's gardening? Oh, now I remember. He planned on becoming a farm worker and picking fruits and vegetables. Or maybe it was just lettuce. That's right - he had a segment about the people who work in the farm fields out West. He even had a website for other people to join in the fun he was going to have - Take Our Jobs.org. People can sign up to earn a little extra cash while being out in the great outdoors.

Disclaimer: Jobs include use of tools. Jobs encompass all areas of farming, from preparing the soil, planting, weeding to harvesting when the crop is ready. Expect warm temperatures. Expect physically demanding work. Expect low pay. Expect long, long days. That stuff is not going to wait for you to be in the mood. It has to be picked today!

This will actually be good for Stephen. I'm not saying he needs to get a little bit of physical activity. Hey! I just said that I'm NOT saying that. Sheesh. I'm just saying it will be good for Stephen. That's all.
