Un-hinging your Brain · Jul 1 by Kurt Peterson
I’m finally back from several days visiting family and friends in and around Seattle, Washington where temperatures never crested 75 and every day was glorious. We were able to leave Virginia, our house, our yard work, our dogs (though missed), and most importantly, our work behind for a much needed and much appreciated vacation.

Getting back to a mountain of emails and voice messages proved a lot easier than even I expected and reminded me of the importance of getting the occasional change of scenery. Like the oil in my Civic, a freshly lubed engine runs much smoother after a change. And taking time to enjoy family on the other end of a continent that I rarely see was the polish on the hood.
So where do you plan to let yourself unwind this summer?

Hey Kurt,
Though not as quiet or still, I unwound at a Yankees/Red Sox game in NYC and had a blast! Vacays are great and this was much needed and much appreciated as well. Glad you enjoyed yours.
