My partner works for a local non-profit that puts on a couple of well known and well attended festivals in Iowa City each summer. One of the festivals centers on art, while the other centers on music. The latter just finished up. Both festivals run for an entire weekend. The first one over the course of the first weekend of June, and the second over the first weekend of July.
More importantly for this post, this means I have two weekends to myself. It’s not just that my partner works the entire weekend. Rather, she vacates the house and sets up shop in a downtown hotel from Thursday to Sunday.
So, I have two weekends per year of (largely) pure free time.
