OFF THE GRID

In true Bonehead fashion – we’re jetting off to Miami for a few days. Oh, I guess we can justify it as my wife’s birthday gift, but it really still doesn’t make too much sense considering these difficult economic times. Justify it further that travel is down, so the fares and the hotel were highly discounted.

I can justify it all I want – but the simple fact is two unemployed Boneheads are getting on a plane to go marinate  our livers with alcohol while wearing brightly colored linen shirts . Just a bad decision?

Not really.

We’re in what we call our home stretch getting our new business plan ready for launch in January, and have been working hard to get there. Looking forward to getting past all the constructive details and jumping into our new routine. It’s frightening as hell, but oddly enough exciting too. Nobody’s kidding anyone either – it’s going to be tough.

So we figure “what the fuck ?” let’s go let loose for a few days – probably not going to be heading away on any new Giddy Mystery adventures next year. Let’s step away from e-mail, phone calls, websites and computer viruses for a few days and grab some new blog stories. We always run into some low level celebrity to annoy, and the places we’re going are crawling with tons of them looking for some low level publicity from poorly written essays like mine. Should be good for a few laughs, and we’ve already charged the camera batteries.

We’ve got the bar and beer fridge filled up for the house-sitters so we’re not even going to feel guilty this time. Just hoping that our stories are a little funnier than theirs.
