Summer is coming to an end. I am thinking about the vacation I went on this Summer. It was the best gift for myself. I need to remember during the crazy times of the school year that I can take a vacation anytime. All I need to do is relax and forget. On those days, I have off it’s a vacation- I do not have to do work. Take time to relax and forget the alarm, the emails, and the papers to grade. It’s OK on Saturday morning to have coffee and read in bed.

Vacation

"You’re on vacation, remember? Can’t you relax and forget you’re a Legionnaire for once?” - Duplicate Boy*

In the 30th Century one of the greatest heroes will be Duplicate Boy, Qued Orlu, from the planet Lallor. Duplicate Boy is a member of the Heroes of Lallor and has often worked with the Legion of Superheroes. Qued dated the Legionnaire, Salu Digby, Shrinking Violet. He has the power to duplicate any super power he meets and then his body remembers that ability and he can then duplicate the power at will. Lallor is in a busy sector of space with villainous activity. Duplicate Boy and his team, Beast Boy (no relation to 20th Century Beast Boy), Gas Girl, Life Lass and Evolvo Lad, are very busy in their pursuits for justice and protecting the innocent.

“Vacation, All I ever wanted, Vacation, Had to get away…” (Vacation by The Go-Go’s) We all need a vacation from time to time. Our lives get busy and hectic. We need the time to relax and forget. When you are on vacation it is OK to forget our jobs our diets our schedules – it’s OK to leave the alarm off. It’s OK to have a good book on the couch with a glass of lemonade. It’s OK to watch old black and white movies all day. We can take a vacation whenever we need one. Saturday morning is a great vacation time. There’s no alarm, coffee in bed with a good book or even Saturday Morning Cartoons. Take the time you need and forget for just a little all the hectic chaos schedules.
