Don't say you weren't warned

I'm going to be taking some time off for Christmas and New Year's starting Saturday, 25 December and coming back on Monday, 3 January 2022. 
I've got places to go, people to see and shit to do, and the last thing I want or need is to spend hours online posting and/or looking for things to post, and moderating comments. Matter of fact, I'll probably turn the comments off  Sunday night sometime just to keep me from feeling like I need to log in for any reason. 
 Back in July, I took a week off for the 4th and my birthday and it felt so good that when one of y'all suggested I do it twice a year, I thought, "You know what? That sounds like a damned good idea", so you can blame whoever it was that brought that up.

    Every win by a conservative will be branded as a Coup in the media.

    You know what? That sounds like a good idea. We'll survive.

    We've lost a few good websites this year. No point in burning yourself out.

    Have yourself a little break once in a while. You've earned it.

    I am going to take it like a grownup, too. Sometimes, though, I do think it would be great to get a brain chip that lets us interact with our friends online at whim, without having to go through the whole internet rigamarole. THAT, I feel, would be the upside to all this goddam tech garbage... set us free from devices and actually enhance our existence... give us back our native telepathy... sort of... if it were unhackable and completely under users' control.

    A girl can dream. Merry jolly ho ho ho.

    Thanks for all you do, WC. Too much of a good thing is always a bad idea.

    Places to go? Go armed, and with caution. People to see? Try not to lose your temper with any relatives or 'Covidiots'. Shit to do? Try to do something fun.

    Above all, have a Merry Christmas and a good laugh about this past year and what's coming. You're gonna need it.

    If anyone has earned some time off, I think a guy that spends this much time in "retirement" giving me something to laugh at or sometimes something to think about...
    Take longer if you feel like it, it's not like you have not earned it!
    Enjoy some very well-earned time off.
    And a very Merry Christmas from me and mine to you and yours.

    When I was working, I always took that week off. Visit family if I wanted to, and just laid around otherwise.

    Have a Merry Christmas, and fulfilling week, and a Happy New year's Eve.

    Oh, and fit some Kwanzaa shit in there, too.

    I get to spend the 24th -the 27th in quarantine. I am having the top half of my ear removed. I
    had a spot the size of a nickel removed from the top, last january, due to a skin cancer. He thought he got it all, but the pathology report said that there was a little on the margin. So we said that we would come back after it, when it got bigger.
    He didn't expect it to grow this big, this fast. So he said that he was going to take a much bigger piece of my ear this time. I told him, it was ok, I don't chase hot chicks as often as I used to, so a half ear on one side won't be as much of a problem. Besides, now I have more of an excuse to not hear my wife, when she calls me.
    Wirecutter, you enjoy your short time away, and if you need a few days anytime, just say so, and take them. If your blog becomes a job, it will take what joy you get out of it, and that is no way to live your retirement.

    Enjoy your time off. But not too much (ha ha).

    Actually, some of the blogs I have followed more or less for years just disappeared after a week or two of digital detox by the authors. Can't say it is unexpected. I was a computer geek for dozens of years and after I walked away from that, I could never bring myself back up to that level of participation.

    Have a great time. Stop and smell the proverbial roses.
