I don't s'pose I really need to point out the logical fallacy in the
Twain quote. Twain was a great writer but might've failed logic 101.

Heck, you hardly have gotten started! As with anything, practice,
practice, practice!

Used to be that I'd be thinking about work the whole trip, up to a
couple of weeks. After a decade or two of mostly weekend trips, work
disappears as we leave the dock, sometimes on the car ride.

Others like the immersion technique, months at a time. We haven't had

the luxury.

You will kick yourself if you don't do what you can when you can. (cf

the Twain quote elsewhere in the thread.)
