since i am only allowed 52 of them per year, i try to husband them in a judicious manner...each week is allowed only seven days, two of which are devoted to celebrations of the beginning/passing of another one...depending on seasonal conditions, i am either in or out...food, grog, and sleep take up a majority of my time...all else is just filler...
