What to do?

This is really strange--after what seems like months of working 12-14 hour days, today I start two weeks of vacation (or "holiday", as we call it here in Europe). The second week will be busy as Gretchen's sister's family comes for a visit, but this week--no plans other than to try not to drive Gretchen crazy as I interfere with her normal daily routine. Actually, there's a lot I want to do: buy a Christmas tree, rent skis for the winter, take a day trip or two, check out a couple of local museums, maybe catch a movie (the local selection isn't great at the moment, but we'd like to see The Incredibles, or as it's called here, Die Unglaublichen). Still, it feels odd to have all this time on my hands...
