300 days off.
I've had 300 days off since we went on vacation last July 1...give or take.
I've been thinking about what that's meant.
No getting up at 3:15am.
No going to bed at 9:30.
No show prep. No PD meetings. No sales people, no remotes.
No Radio.
That's the obvious stuff. Obviously I haven't been on the air, cept the interviews I've done promoting my book.
Do I miss it? Yes and no.
Yes I miss the people in the office, listeners, and especially the folks I worked with.
No I don't miss getting up in the middle of the night, being scrutinized by management and getting up in the middle of the night.
300 days off. The most time I've had away from a job in nearly 20 years.
Yes I've got a lot of things on the go, and I go to a lot of meetings. I have a great family and a lot of great people I hang with.
But truthfully like a lot of out-of-work people, after 300 days what I mostly feel is bored.
Define boredom.
The other day I spent 20 minutes trying to get the perfect shot of my dog humping a slipper.

Howard,
Enjoy it while it lasts, It sounds like you want to work again (I hope its a resurrection of the H & F show but if not thats okay too) But I can honestly say that A) Id enjoy if I could afford it, taking 300 days off from work.
B) Think of how fresh you will be when you do get work,
C) You are having fun with the Blog thing I mean this is awesome. I get on my computer in the morning before work and I check yours, freds and Mike Boons....Its like getting the Humble and Fred show except in this case I have to read it. So maybe you are not working but you are still reaching out to us (your fans) and I think that should be important to you as well. I know I appreciate the entertainment you and Fred have been providing.
