Off you go...enjoy yourself!

You deserve a break from everything. You're always on the run, always doing something of earth-shaking importance (well, more important than everyone else). You rule the universe you live in with sarcasm and kindness. We are certainly kept on our toes.

Go away and enjoy a bright sun on an almost-crisp autumn day. Get out on the highway; feel that motor running.

When you come home, there'll be a Thanksgiving Chicken dinner; and your living space will be tidied, cleaned and redone in autumn colours. We'll have run all over town to find a part for your sister's computer; we'll have been woken up twice by early morning phone calls from your friends.

When you come home, be sure to start swearing and yelling at the dog. When your son says he's done his chores, be sure to remind him how much he's done wrong over the past year. Make sure to remind your wife of all the places she could have looked for her sister-in-law's computer parts. Leave your dirty clothes all over the freshly cleaned and scrubbed bathroom. You'll probably need a nap, so take over the couch.

Arrive late to the table for that wonderful dinner, and tell us about that nice spot you saw today on a hill. We appreciate that. Leave your dishes all over the table, complain that you're sick and go to bed. We understand.
