I left my office around noon on Friday to join the early start on a family vacation to Berkeley Springs. Despite DC's proximity to West Virginia, I was too young on my last visit to remember it. About time I returned, eh?

One thing I forgot to mention from the previous vacation: I once read a suggestion to say "Thursday" instead of "Cheese" for a more natural-looking camera smile. It occurred to me that any word ending with "-ay" would do the trick, particularly one that makes you feel like smiling, so I suggested "Friday" instead. (It rolls off the tongue better, too.) Then Mom did me one better: "Payday!" Let's remember for future vacations.
