Vacation

I'm wrapping up "a week of vacation" w/my wife and two youngest children, out in North Carolina (technically, I did do some work this week, so it wasn't a "real" vacation...). We stayed in Charlotte for a little bit, and then went down to Oak Island to check out the Atlantic for a few days. It's still there. And I forget how warm it was (I'm used to the colder Pacific)...


The more connected we become, as individuals and as a society, the harder it seems to be to have true down time. I make it worse b/c I travel a lot for my job, so it's very easy to let work bleed into any down time I would otherwise have if I were at home and spending it with my wife and children.

So, what to do about this?


I'm picking up my guitar again. Literally.


About 7 years ago I bought a Martin Backpacker Travel Guitar. It sounds great and after about 5 minutes of playing you get used to the size and feel of the guitar. It's a great way to decompress and get out of the left-side of my head, and back over to the right. I also found this page, which is a nice little homage' to this fine instrument.


Which means I'm also always looking for great tab sites. If you know of any, please share.

And also pass along your thoughts on what you do to decompress and get away from the things that stress you out. These are always great to share!
