My vacation has a project manager
Fictional editorial letter
Dear Duck,
My friend sent a color-coded itinerary for our beach weekend. Breakfast is at 6:15 a.m. and “spontaneous fun” has a 22-minute slot. Can I just go to the beach?

Dear Scheduled Relaxation,
Tell your friend which plans you are joining and which hours you intend to spend behaving like a person on vacation. “I will meet you for dinner; I am keeping the mornings free” requires no committee vote.
The spreadsheet may be useful to its author. It is not a royal decree. If spontaneity begins at 11:08 and ends at 11:30, I recommend arriving at 11:31 with a very large hat.
