I have just returned from a week long vacation to cleanse my palette of the summer workathon.
What did I do? Vacation in Maine? Relax on the Cape? Hike the many trails here in the Berkshires?
Nope.
With the help of my very talented carpenter father, I built a shed for storage with a playhouse for the child on top. Behold!
Here is a view of the shed door side:
Here is the child, surveying her domain from on high:
And here she is relaxing with a little light reading:
So there it is. It was fun and exhausting and I feel like I’ve done something with my time.
For my next vacation, however, I’m going somewhere and doing nothing. I swear.

Yeah, sure, make the rest of us Slacker Dads look bad why don’tcha?
I’d say my daughter should be jealous of your daughter, but then I realize that playhouse is nicer than some apartments I’ve lived in, and I realize that %$#@, I’m jealous of your daughter. And then I realize how pathetic that is, and I’m filled with self-loathing.
So bravo, sir. Well done.

Excellent reading for Morgan. Ethan’s been delving into ‘the Economist’ as of late.
