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 <\/em>tired of traveling by myself.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Traveling every 2, 3, 4 weeks? That’s just a hassle. Especially when it’s mostly to the same place.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

I’m looking forward to going to WDW with Margie at the end of May. It will be quite a nice change.<\/p>\n

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.
