I'm always a busy fella. I stay that way. I always say that I'm going to slow down and enjoy what I have, but it's just not my nature. I can't do it. July through the end of August is always hell on earth for me. The day job is as busy as it can possibly be.  The convention season starts winding up. The out of town family starts  making noise for us to come visit. Everything always seems to hit all at once.
This is when laziness sets in. Wendy's or Burger King beckons for the quick, easy, cheap meal. This year my wife and I are taking our first grown-up adult vacation together since we had our daughter. Due to some unforeseen events, our budgeting for this adventure got off track. This actually works in our favor. By examining every single dollar we spend, we are forced to cook at home. Good food, even unintentionally, is still good food.
