Get donuts.
Drink root-beer.
Sing the tenor part in congregational singing.
Now, to be fair, you should have asked the follow up question: What is the first thing you do when you get back to the field after furlough. Because for many of us, there are things we miss while on furlough!
Turn on my computer and just enjoy being back home and in my own study!
Drink several mugs of decent home brewed coffee.
Get my guitar and enjoy accompanying the congregational singing (only singing melody).
Enjoy the way we have a “time of singing and worship” after the message in our Church Service. |

Sleep! That’s all I want to do after 36 hours in planes and airports!!!
Just kidding. Actually, the first thing we usually did was to dive into the American cereals. Our relatives knew which ones we liked and couldn’t usually get on the field, and they would have a good supply waiting for us, so that when we were hungry at strange hours (you know what jet-lag is), we could enjoy our Grape-Nuts, Kix, and Cheerios! |

When I was a kid, it was going to MacDonald's for a Big Mac. Now that they have MacDonald's in Brazil, and I'm still sick of Big Macs from last furlough, I'd say visit one of the mega bookstores or a good library. |
