A-CATION

I recently took a day trip to Fire Island and enjoyed the peace and quiet. My mind was refreshed, my soul was stirred and I began to feel like a human being again.

I decided then and there that what I was doing was a "Daycation" ... as I am over the "Staycation" (tough to do when you don't have a backyard), and there is no "Vacation" in my future.

I then decided that I was the clever person to coin that fitting phrase for a single day of solitude. Until I found out that word was already coined a few years ago.

I now offer the word "A-cation" to describe such a day, and if I find out that that word has also been coined ... I offer "Cation."

Go ahead, try and tell me someone already coined "Cation." I dare ya.
