sabbatical

My sabbatical year began today.
What's the point?
I've been working, doing the right thing, since 1984. I'm ready for it. I'm middle aged, I have savings.
If I've been doing the right thing, is this the wrong thing? I don't think so but if you want a second opinion, ask Sue.
What's it for?
I'm going to remember how to write, publish all my old stuff on kindle & epub, see if I can't spark some interest there, maybe write another thriller and a spoof self-help book (who will know the difference?).
I'm going to travel. Maybe get in shape a little.
Write a blog, including a travel blog. And while I'm travelling, ideally, stay out of the blog.
The thriller I'll publish when I'm done.
The self help book I'll probably put most of it up here as it is written.
Tomorrow is the first day of the sabbatical. How will I celebrate the big event? Ride my bike, walk the dog, long read (Catch 22 again) mow the lawn. Aren't you envious already?
