Seems like everyone at the office was looking forward to the end of the work week, including me.
\nMaybe it’s because Thursday turned out to be a work at home day, due to a power outage caused by a semi that had knocked down the power lines the night before. It was a beautiful day, and a gift to be able to spend it outside, or at least in a place where you could open the windows.<\/p>
\nThe commute was easy last night, and maybe with gas prices expected to go over $3\/gallon, we won’t have big volumes of traffic. Tourism has been off the last two years, and as a full-time Cape resident, I keep hoping the so-called leaders on this island will wake up to that fact.
\nOur local Chambers of Commerce are for the most part a sorry bunch. As someone put it, we have plenty of leaders, but no leadership. Not that the residents themselves are a particularly progressive bunch: in a recent survey by the Cape Cod Commission, the quality of area public schools ranked at or near the bottom of the list of civic concerns.
\nI have no particular plans for the weekend, other than to pay some bills and give the house an overdue cleaning. One of my friends extended a tentative invite for Sunday dinner and another may or may not be available for a movie, depending on her work schedule.
\nI finished a big project at work, with a little minor cleanup once we started getting more user feedback. P, B and the kids are on their way back, so I’ll have Max duty for one more day, something I’ve actually come to enjoy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
