835.0. "MATERNITY/HUNTING LEAVE" by OGOMTS::IRVINE (I'm the NRA) Fri Nov 02 1990 05:51

             Not Intended to bust any ball's but......
    
	Well, every ones counting the day's they will be out hunting, 
       so, I'll be counting the months. My wife thinks she had good 
       timing when she got pregnant, she figured she will have Thanks
       giving ,X-mas and New Years off from nursing. But since I can 
       qualify for the maternity leave...I will be taking TWO count them
       two months off, starting next week, I'm out of here... I am lucky
       to have the wife that I do because she said to take the time for 
       a hunting trip. Now I don't want to hear how can you go away at
       this time because, I will be waiting for her to return from the 
       hospital, with the truck all packed. I think I will start with the 
       first week of archery here in taxachusetts, and then on the 12th
       it's off to Maine to to track Mr. Buck for five days. Then when I
       run out of food, money, and beer it's back to Mass to see how the 
       wife is, and back to the local woods again. I just love this country
       , and the bennies in this company are still working for me. 
 


                                       See ya all next year,
                                       To get trained again.

    Well, I hope you enjoy.  That's exactly what I was doing this
    time last year.  It was great, but I don't think I could stand
    doing it every year......
    
    By the way, they call it "parental leave" for dads.
