Much Needed Break ... ?

Well, thanks to Tropical Storm Edouard, all employees at Johnson Space Center (well, nearly all of them... MCC is still operating) are now on forced vacation time until Tuesday at 5pm at a minimum. Now that I've pretty much finished my hurricane preparation (meaning all of my loose patio and outdoors items have been carefully stored in my garage), I'm not sure what to do with myself!


Though, it is gorgeous outside right now. Maybe I'll take advantage of some of the sun and enjoy a little bit of leisure swimming this afternoon before the storm gets much closer. Until then, happy day off folks!

Sidebar - why do people insist on spelling names in every way but normal? What's wrong with Edward? Why is Piper now Pyper or Pypre or some craziness? It seems like parents these days want an original name for their kid so they just re-spell another name to make it "different"... I just don't get it. But then again, I'm not a parent so who am I to talk...
