OLLI Break

Osher Institute scheduled its Spring Break the final week in March.  Ordinarily, I schedule a few nights away, having gone to the Pocono's one year and to DC last year.  No major driving or planes for this one. Travel may not fit in as well this year.

The weeks leading into this week off have more than the usual obligations.  This week Purim and some synagogue activities.  Next week the Voices of UD meetings.  The following -week my somewhat overdue endoscopic studies as well as the first meeting for the Delaware Community Foundation Scholarship Program.  And probably need to squeeze in some Passover shopping and other preparation before other shoppers deplete Shop-Rite's supplies of the hard to find.

So by the time classes suspend, either I will look back with accomplishment or have to deal with whatever the GI endoscopists find and with Passover which begins the week classes resume.  So what might I do under more pressured circumstances?  A day trip for sure.  Maybe fishing at a downstate pier.  Maybe the Chinatown Bus to NYC.  But only one day.  Passover cleaning can be paced a bit more than in prior years.  Maybe visit with a travel agent for visiting Paris with my wife.  Maybe begin the seasonal gardens.  Maybe choose my art:  watercolor, pastels, pencils black and colored, neglected violin, neglected harmonica.  Or seek the more audacious.  Not really a blank canvas of time, but one with a lot of area to fill in with things I most want to do but not want to do enough to have incorporated them into busier weeks.
