Off to Puerto Rico

Sun, beach, ocean, friends, mofongo and much, much more.

It's time for me to cash in my 6-day work weeks from the holidays and step into the exact opposite of what earned me this time off; Stress is out the window!

And it couldn't come at a better time. Winter is setting in after some unseasonably warm days, but I won't be in the cold here for that long. Shortly after the sun comes up, I'll be at the airport.

And when I return, perhaps Barack Obama will have the Democratic presidential nomination, unofficially, but I'm thinking ahead.

Ever the optimist these days ...
