Just two days...

Caroline, and her tired mommy and daddy are headed to the beach with Grammy and Popi and Mike, Carrie and Caiden this weekend for a week's vacation.

For Father Ween, this will be a real vacation with a dead, dormant BlackBerry and phone that will likely develop an allergic reaction to sand and sun.

What people see when they email me will be important, so I've been daydreaming of what my email's out of office reply could say....

"Thanks for your message. I'm out of the office, on vacation, a real one, so please contact xxxxxx or yyyyy if you need imediate assistance. Its our infant daughter's first trip to the beach and I haven't had a real week-long vacation since we got married. So, please put yourself in my (lack of) shoes and direct your question to one of the people listed above, and cheers!"

Probably get fired for that, but I won't know for a week, because I'm going off the grid -- unless there are cute beach photos of Caroline to share with the Friends of Caroline's Corner...
