Camping with friends
Well another camp come and gone :-(
Good friends, excellent beverages beer, rye, cognac,
water courtesy of Lake Michigan ( I swim with my mouth open)
The usual camp critters, plus the not so usual ones
All bitchin aside the camps that Zig's family put on are worthy of great praise. That they trusted me to take their rugrats to the lake for the day speaks volumes to me. Of course they could have just been bored out of their gourds with the kids,and I offered, and so there fore I was 'okay' anything to get them out of our hair for at least an hour!!! I had a screaming great time with them.... we swam, we joked, we 'marked' our territory in the lake... the look of total bliss on the 4 y/o's face when she came up to me on the beach and whispered I have to go pee...
I looked towards the lake and told her in a conspirator's voice there
you go sweetheart a great big lake just for you... pee to your heart's content ... just don't poop. She looked as though she didn't believe me, then flew down the beach, and a new camper was born!
I didn't fair as well and shamed my Manx forefathers that I couldn't stay up with the Gaelic tribe,and drink myself into the new day.... Hey! in my line of work random whiz quizzes are the norm. I save my drinking to excess the first day I am at the house after being on the road countless days/nights. My stamina is not what it used to be.... someday again I will toast
my Manx family and say ' See I didn't loose the ability to drink myself into a stupor, and remember the next day what a great time I had'....... Until then Im a 3 drinks Im blitzed person.. such a flamin' waste of good booze!
