Just what are your plans for the three day weekend coming soon? It’s Presidents Day; but for all of us it is a respite, albeit for one extra day, from the doldrums of the season. I particularly like this quote below which pays attention to the concept of a ‘one’ day off.
“I do not really like vacations. I much prefer an occasional day off when I do not feel like working. When I am confronted with a whole week in which I have nothing to do but enjoy myself I do not know where to begin. To me, enjoyment comes fleetingly and unheralded; I cannot determinedly enjoy myself for a whole week at a time.” ~ Robertson Davies
That is me. I’m right there with Robertson Davies. One day off is bliss. A whole week off is often frightening to me. I have the need to be productive. I believe that it is a particularly American sin, this need to be productive. So on Monday, I will enjoy every aspect of the day even if my only work is to read other murder mystery writers works. I think that there must be one of the American Presidents who might have agreed with me: maybe; possibly; I’m not sure. Oh alright, they probably worked every day even on one day holidays!!!! What about you? Is your one day off blissful?

"My love affair with plots, murder, mystery, spies and, in general, with crime novels began at an early age. I read and read – probably have read 2,000 crime novels since then. Even at an early age, I developed my own plots if only to cover up my misdeeds to the chagrin of my family and teachers. Some less creative called it fibbing!
Now I write from the love of plot – of people and their ways –of life – of philosophy – about crime –about the sociopath/psychopath."
