My Labor Day Weekend: A Redux

• Spent two days camping with BDC's family 'cause the boy was actually eager & excited for them to meet me and vice versa. (Quite possibly the first time that's ever been the case, actually and sadly.)


• Played a crazy canoe game while canoeing.


• Got a blister from my shoddy canoeing.


• Finally played the infamous LCR.


• Got to see the extremely vibrant Milky Way and a couple shooting stars in a crystal clear PA sky in the autumn cold with a boy's arms wrapped around me.


• Ate camper pies. Sort of.


• Had a lengthy philosophical discussion late at night under the stars until the campfire burnt down all the way and we gave in to our tiredness.


• Drank beer in a canoe.


• Drank beer around the campfire.


• Drank beer in the middle of the day.


• Drank a helluva lot of beer.


• Played with a bunch of children.


• Went 3 days without showering.


• Built up nearly three days' worth of campfire stink.


• Watched two guys spend an hour (successfully) making torches out of forest sticks, underpants, and lard.


• Laughed the hardest I have in a good long time.


• Figured out where BDC gets his ability to fall asleep anywhere (including on top of me).


• Got hazed in the form of a Jungle Breakfast hunt.


• Won money gambling in Tripoley.


• Helped cook vegan beer waffles over a campfire.


• Slept outside on the cabin porch with the world's highest air mattress and a boy who stole all the covers and smushed me into the wall but kept me warm with his own body heat and woke me up with redbearded grins and kisses.


• Listened to a lot of chili-induced farts.
