Well deserved!

Yes! Jess! Whatever it takes to keep you energized in the long run and happy in all the runs. Please enjoy.

I'll take a leap and speak for many of us. There are a few precious substackers who I encourage to take breaks and recharge...because losing them would be heartbreaking and...nation breaking. Heather, Hubbell, Reich, Rosenberg, Vance, Hartmann and more...you get my drift.

As Joyce says, "we are all in this together". Find your balance. All in does not require all the time.

I agree with the others, I think you should take off several days, especially since you will be in upstate New York, Maine and Nova Scotia, some of the most beautiful areas of this great country. And so opposite of Southern California. Really good for your soul.

And if you must connect with us while on your vacation, just have it be the Sunday Extra, Extra, as that always helps all of us to keep going by seeing where we have made a difference. Other than that, just have some fun and relaxing time with the clan.

I'm going to work next week and then likely take the next two weeks off. So that's the plan!

Good for you. Have fun. As one of my tee shits says “don’t forget to play” something as one gets older thinks applies only to children!

One day isn't nearly enough! How about a couple weeks to recharge? You've earned it, you deserve it, a lot of your readers will be on vacation. Please think about it! Thanks for all you do.
