Well, Lisa and I are about to do something we haven’t done on a long, long time:  Go on a vacation. By ourselves.

It took a lot of work, but as of tonight we have packed bags, a borderline-neurotic obsessive-compulsive multi-night  babysitting arrangement set up for Mathias, completed wills should our plane go down in flames, and, drumroll please, $320 worth of Yankees tickets. By which I mean two.

If all goes according to plan, two nights from now we should be in New York watching the Yankees play Kansas City.  After that we should have two full days to visit friends, bum around the city, and pretend that we’re not parents.

Well, try to pretend.  This will be the first time Lisa will be away from Mathias for more than six hours, so the trip may turn out to be an interesting psychological experiment.  Will Lisa enjoy the trip, or will we have to increase our minutes with Sprint?  Stay tuned!
