As I write this there are only 18 minutes left until Shutdown Day, at least here in Ireland where we’re on GMT. Shutdown Day is all about living without your computer for one whole day, so don’t expect any blog posts from me until Sunday at the earliest. This will be very difficult for me since I’m smack dab in the middle of finishing up my gasoline tax research project. Maybe I’ll use this day to just look over my paper and physically make corrections with a red pen. After that, I’ll take my son out to Galway Bay and Salthill Promenade for a bike ride and a mid-day romp at the beach. With any luck, the weather will be like it was today: sunny, light breeze, about 60 degrees…perfect. After that, I think I’ll treat myself to a marathon training run

I’m really on a roll with all these social issues posts lately, huh? I guess spring is a time of renewal, so it’s good to evaluate where you are in life and make positive changes. What are you going to do on Shutdown Day?

Here’s to Shutdown Day, in 4 more minutes…
