We were scheduled to go camping with a gaggle of lesbians over the weekend.

These are the gals I befriended servicing the old mortgage company account… A few months after I resigned that account they also quit, (no big surprise), and started their own mortgage company.

As best as I can on days-off, nights and long-winded lunches… I’m helping them with some ads, corporate identity, etc.

After a few close calls with work and conflicting schedules – we were able to go…

Dog days of summer dictated that we veto the whole sleep-over camp thing – but a day-trip to go and hang out on the campsite and float the Meremac was totally doable… and so we did.

The heat scared everyone else off – so it was just us and one couple who parked their RV and set up the two campsites… They did a great job… Dining fly… fire…. tables chairs and “Hillbilly Horseshoes”…..

All you need to make your own set is $12 worth of PVC pipe and 12 golf balls and some rope….

The point of the game is to toss the balls and get them to wrap around one of three bars….

Hmm.. I guess that’s not a point – that’s more of an “object” – because the game is totally pointless… but still kinda fun for just hanging out on a campsite…. I mean what else are you going to do?

Well – I saw satellite dishes on tripods outside many of the huge camper/RV things at the campsite which lead me to wonder:

“Why would you drive all the way out here to be in nature to sit inside your RV and watch television?”

American culture, (or lack there of), still… consistently cracks me up.

The float was really nice… My unfounded fears of boat tippage kept me from taking my camera which I totally regret because some stretches of the river were breathtaking.

Kevin sun burnt his tummy.

Chad sun burnt his legs.

SPF-15 and savage genetics passed on from mom saved me.

My the end of the day my head started stuffing up… By half way through the drive home my sinuses were throbbing… By that evening I was hiding in a dark room with a pillow on my head and moaning.

Been high on cold-meds ever since…

I’ve got a sinus infection… not a blog.
