The other day, I went to the office, and after checking email and task list saw there was nothing requiring my immediate attention, so I took the day off and watched "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug" in a 3D IMAX theatre, which was a very delicious three hour escape. Afterward, I drove to a local mountain park for a six mile hike and returned home late in the evening. I actually prefer occasionally losing myself for a day or two when I really feel like it more than I do blocking off a couple of weeks at some fixed date.
