Do I work... or do I plan

Sadly, my return to work looked much like my departure - all day meetings for seemingly meaningless tasks. Today, I took a little mental time to daydream and have come up with the following items:

1) I think that it would be neat to pick my own bananas, mangoes, limes, coconuts etc - whatever fruit I can find on vacation. Not that I think that I could make a full mean from it, but still. So I tried to Google to find out when all of these things are ripe (there are banana and mango trees in the garden at our rental villa, and there are coconut trees growing on all the beaches). I've determined that I must be looking up the only information unable to be quickly found via Google. Depressing.

2) The "Lost" and "Amazing Race" season finales are on during my vacation week. Do I tape them at home to guarantee that I don't miss them, or do I incorporate them into my vacation? Decisions, decisions.

3) Since we will be on St John during a full moon, I am hoping to see the bioluminescence caused by the polychaete worm spawn (gloworms) that happens 2-6 days after the full moon. Glowing worms - trippin' man!

4) ZIP in "ZIP code" stands for "Zone Improvement Plan." I know you had to know that.

5) I'd better get my car emissions inspection done soon. Hmmmm.

My day dreams get less interesting as the days go on.

Last week, when I was away in Denver, the MARC train that I take to work hit a woman - she had layed down on the tracks to commit suicide. I feel really bad for my train conductors - there's no way they could stop the train, and it has to be a really rotten experience. I want to say something to them - but there's kinda a code, where I say "Good Morning" and they say "Good Morning" and then I say "Have a nice day" when I'm getting off the train and they reciprocate. Poor guys. They are so cute in their uniforms, though.
