My wife and son have been away visiting family. I couldn’t join them because of some things I had to take care of at work. Knowing I would be missing them greatly I tried to stay busy this weekend by:

• Going to dinner with some old friends.
• Drinking some beers with some old friends.
• Playing some golf.
• Volunteering at a marathon (notice I didn’t say run a marathon).
• Hacking on my Tumblr blog.
• Going for a bike ride and stumbling on a mystery.
• Playing kickball in the park.
• Hanging out with my parents.
• And putting my son’s train set back together.

Thanks to all my friends who re-arranged schedules and spent time away from their busy lives to humor me this weekend.  The wife and son come home tomorrow. Cant wait!
