Sick on Vacation

Papa Bear is sick. He was really looking forward to spending time alone while the family is at special needs camp. He will get to be alone, but he has a bad head cold and cannot breathe well. It seems that it happens to our family a lot at vacation time, that someone it sick or the car breaks down. Both have happened to us this week. It makes me think of a quote from Garrison Kellor.

Success makes you unhappy,you always get sick on vacation, you get a heart attack the first week after you retire, spring time is hard to bear,sunshine is a depressant, a big raise will ruin your marriage,and love will only break your heart. You can image otherwise if you want to but you know it’s true. It’s been our experience up here in the North.
