I told Margie on the phone that, as I got off the Hertz bus to pick up my rental car, I realized I was getting really tired of traveling by myself.
A bit of business travel is fun. A novel experience. A chance to indulge a bit, to see people you don’t normally get to see, cool stuff like that.
Traveling every 2, 3, 4 weeks? That’s just a hassle. Especially when it’s mostly to the same place.
Yes, I’ll get to travel to Glasgow in a few weeks. I’ll spend as many days traveling there as being there, and I’ll have, I suspect, not all that much time to do anything except sit in meeting rooms and drink a lot of tea.
I’m looking forward to going to WDW with Margie at the end of May. It will be quite a nice change.
If he had been a great and wise philosopher, like the writer of this book, he would now have comprehended that Work consists of whatever a body is OBLIGED to do, and that Play consists of whatever a body is not obliged to do.
