One of my favorite parts of being on vacation is that the answer to any argument with myself that begins "Explain to me why I shouldn't" is usually "I can't." Explain to me why I shouldn't have coffee ice cream for breakfast, instead of coffee. Explain to me why I shouldn't play two long games of Civ 5 in the same day. Explain to me why I shouldn't lie around in bed for an hour on each end of the day re-reading the Harry Potter books. Explain to me why I shouldn't eat lunch at 3:00 if I wasn't hungry before that. And so forth.

On a work day, the answers are "because responsible adults don't eat ice cream for breakfast", "because you have other things to do and besides it involves too much sitting in front of the computer", "because you have to go to sleep before midnight and go to work before 10:00", and "because you won't want dinner until practically bedtime if you eat lunch at 3:00."

Now if somebody would just explain to the feline population that I don't have to get up at 6:00, even on a work day...
