Higgins Lake - take 2

Published on August 17, 2005 By Draginol In Life Journals

Last year the family and I tried to go to Higgins Lake for vacation. I can't find the blogs on it. Which reminds me, we need a calendar interface for accessing blogs as I know when I blogged about it.

Anyway, it was a bit of a disaster. The cabin we rented was supposed by be "by the beach" but I think they meant "by the beech" as in tree. It was across a fairly busy street from a dirty wad of sand.

This year, we didn't even try to get something next to the beach. We opted for a bit more comfort and we'd just drive to the state park. That's worked well so far. Now the only problem is that I can't turn off my brain. Lots of interesting things going on at work that I want to work on.

For instance, the podcasting stuff is going well. And we just released a beta of a program called StyleVista. And of course, things with Galactic Civilizations II are reaching a climax as we start heading towards the final parts of development - only 4 months left to finish it! And in between all this there's all kind of interesting things with Windows Vista, WindowBlinds and Object Desktop in general.

So anyway, I'm thinking about that stuff instead of relaxing. Is that so bad?

Their method of using skins won't work anymore anyway.

When you rent a cabin it never is what they say it is! I've got too many fond memories of stuff like that whilst on vacation! It's not too bad in the beginning if you're thinking about work. However, if it continues....that would be bad for you and then you won't get the chance to relax and have fun with your family.

Kinda sucks for you that you can't relax your mind.
It's kinda nice for us that the wheels don't stop turning though.

Boobs are always a good way to get your mind of work.

Try this for the other blogs related to that topic on our sites (14 results), or delete "joeuser" in the same search mask for a substantial amount of results (joke): http://www.google.de/search?num=100&hl=de&q=%22Higgins+Lake%22+joeuser&meta=. Hope your vacations still O. K. Why not think work there, too, if the surroundings let you concentrate better or more pleasantly for a change. When on a trip, I miss home including good internet and printing, when at home I wistfully think, why did I leave so early? Maybe a nice pic u shoot there could be worked into a calendar skin or something by you or a user of ours, or a logon etc.

Just watched awesome Object Dock Plus Demo Video. Wow! For some users new to Stardock or solely interested in that program, i. e. for a starter upgradeable to OD + more, someone could demonstrate the results of SKIN STUDIO home made skins users could create themselves instead of just downloading, worked almost too good in my public Object Dock version as well. 4 autohiding jungle like skinned bars all around a big screen plus your nifty tabs & new features. I can´t stop thinking of these things either.

One way to help turn off your brain is to leave the laptop at home. That way the tempation to do work is diminished greatly.

Now quit reading this and get back to your vacation!
