I recently read another person’s account of their sabbatical where it said, “If I had it do do again, I would have taken more time off.” I am incorporating that philosophy into my experience by taking scheduled Internet holidays during this time. The first starts tomorrow, and then another one later on in the winter. Best to do it now before things switch into high gear. I’ll be back in a week. Comments on this blog will be closed, but will reopen when I return. In this week’s quote of the week on the DailyKaizen blog, I posted a story that I recently ran across that’s useful here. Enjoy!

Continuing on a theme started a few weeks ago, this week’s photo is of one of the most important libraries in the world, Library of Congress. Employing 4,000 individuals and housing 134 million items makes long cavernous tunnels like the one pictured necessary. It really is larger than life. In case you were wondering (I was), you cannot check out items from this library, and you can take your computer into the reading rooms to work, you just can’t take the computer bag in with you. Which is fine, it was worth the trip.
