August 2010
...what a week it was!
As if 60% occupancy in July wasn't a bit of a stretch in itself... (....that is foliage type occupancy when it seems like every room is full every nite) we are already past that now for August and August isn't over! Then all the family celebrations during this past week was simply just... "over the top"... we just crashed yesterday... it was the first day we had nobody checking in since the 8th of July!
to write or not to write...?
To write... or not to write... that is the question... that is not from Shakespeare... just old Philip Musing.... Shakespeare was wrestling to be.. or not to be... that's a little bit heavier question... more in tune with his non-understanding of life... life being the tale of an idiot... full of sound and fury... signifying nothing...
...so what do you think?... Is it?
So what do you think? Is it? Is life a "tale told by an idiot... full of sound and fury... signifying nothing"... ? And us? Are we insignificant ... our lives meaningless... ? My friend Chris... he writes things like I do... to try to stir folks up to think about life... what is really going on here... and I always enjoy how his mind runs in the same direction as mine...
...of Shakespeare and things
Old Philip the Muser was pretty tough on old William the Shakespeare yesterday... sorry about that... in reflection on how I said he ( Shakespeare) was totally clueless... I must also say that Philip was just as clueless the first 32 years of his life... nothing about life made any sense to me back then... life for me was a "tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury... signifying nothing..."
..tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow
What is it about tomorrows? We plan for them.... we live for them... we are consumed by them... we save for them.... we think about them all the time... why is that? People who know me understand that I do have a couple of opinions about one or two things... actually I do happen to have one about this as well... :)
...aw shucks! :)
Our string of days with one or more bookings finally ended... after 10 days in a row... a total of 23 bookings for 42 room nights... aw shucks.... I mean com'on... now why did it have to stop like that.... I was really enjoying myself.... :)
...of stops and stoppings
True confession time... one man's stop or stopping of anything is not necessarily another man's stop or stopping.... each of us is so incredibly unique and different... my friend Gordon told me that I had no idea of what it means to relax... can you believe that... ? Me... Philip the Muser... unable to relax...? So here comes the true confession...
...so stop already!
I actually did it yesterday... I stopped... still can't believe I did it...
Usually Ellen runs up alone to the Lake to visit our daughter and the grandkids ... who are enjoying their last week of vacation here before heading back to Rwanda. Philip doesn't ever stop though. He is most always back here at the B&B ... holding down the Fort... Fort Village Victorian... :)

...go figure
The more stuff Ellen and I cut out of our lives to free up some kick back time.... the busier we seem to get... go figure... I mean waz up wit dat... :)
....of busy and busyness... :)
Hmmm... just came up with a new definition of busyness.... it is "93 Room Nights in July" ... plus having our daughter Jennifer and family here for 6 weeks.... plus Ellen's sister here with overlapping 6 weeks-es... spell check tells me there is no such word... but you know what I mean! :)It is not that somehow Philip has run out of things to say.... just that he has run out of time and any sense of alertness...
