Vacas!

No, not "cows"... ¡vacaciones!

That's right, it's almost vacation time again.

Ok, so I haven't actually purchased the plane tickets yet, but I have already cleared the highest hurdle: asking Quique for permission to spend a month in NY.

Because he cares for me, and realizes how important my family is to me, and recognizes that I deserve some time off, and that the trip will be a restorative opportunity to recharge my creative batteries... he quickly said "Yes!"

Well, actually he said "Yes... as long as you agree to work from home for the first two weeks." (Damn, there's always a catch.) Thanks to marvels of modern technology I'll be updating the Incidencia Democratica homepage from New York. And, in case you're wondering, yes... I'll be doing it in my underwear.

The nearly-definitive dates for the trip are June 25th through July 24th. One of those weeks I hope to spend in New Orleans with Dad and Barbara! (Speaking of which... is that ok with you guys? And, um, can my friend Karla come too?)

So there you have it. More details tomorrow. And yes, the official "to-do list" is being dreamt-up at this very moment. I'll post some ideas soon... and I'm definitely open to suggestions!
