Vacation

For those who check the blog regularly, you will note the blog took a European style 6 week vacation.  Last evening, we attended an interesting performance by a group of musicians called Polaris Ensemble.  The music was lively and the variety of instruments fascinating.  During the intermission, we met a German couple who were visiting the region and we learned they were on holiday for a month.  They actually get 6 weeks of holiday but were saving the other two for skiing and windsurfing.  The conundrum here is that the company he worked for was an American firm with offices also in Germany. Perhaps American firms in America ought to afford their employees longer vacations and watch productivity, morale and creativity rise.  Whether it is a weekend, a week or a month, I hope you are planning on traveling this year.
