Fall Affair Camping Buddy?
neuski:
I will be camping in a tent alone two nights (9/25 & 9/26) at Lake Rudolph for the CoasterBuzz Fall Affair. I would love to have a camping buddy so contact me if you are interested. Or if you are camping in your own tent maybe we put them together to create a super camp.
When I first read this I began concocting multiple arguments to use on Jeanine to be able to attend. Then I looked...

Last weekend, while at the cottage with Jeanine’s family, almost all of the music played was county. It’s all I’ve been able to listen to since. I’ve even created a Pandora station to find new songs I like.

I’ve been using Pandora more lately. My latest station started with Neko Case who I have begun to love. I suspect Beth will also dig...

25
That’s how many rides I got on Gemini before I quit. I know it won’t seem like a lot compared to other people’s numbers, but I worked hard to get even that many. I greatly overestimated my body’s abilities.
I’ve decided that 25 rides is a respectable number and am taking an extended break to see the rest of the park.
I came very close to puking after ride #15, but have successfully made it to 20
Riding the Gemini non-stop is much more difficult than I imagined. After 9 rides the first person puked. After 10 I needed a break.

I’ve had 3 surgeries in the last year. This concerns me. Greatly.

Funny Truth
“One day a florist went to a barber for a haircut. After the cut, he asked about his bill, and the barber replied, ‘I cannot accept money from you, I’m doing community service this week.’ The florist was pleased and left the shop.
When the barber went to open his shop the next morning, there was a thank you’ card and a dozen roses waiting for him at his door....
I hate Mondays that come after spending only one day on office work the previous week.
Round 3.5
Tomorrow I go back to the Cleveland Clinic for round 3.5 of surgery.
I’ve been having some symptoms the past week that the nurse thought might be a stricture at the bottom of my pouch. A visit this morning and a fun little digital probe (read: some other dude’s index finger inside me) found a soft stricture most likely caused by scar tissue. He said there was the option to dilate it...

What have I missed? Where will I go?
It’s going to be a fun offseason. I can’t remember the last time this many somewhat-nearby parks were building over the winter.

I’m debating participating in this. Not only is it for a good cause, but also makes for a great way to celebrate finally being healthy again.

This is where my family’s cottage is located and, like the reporter, I’ve visited since I was in a crib.

1) I don’t know why I didn’t use landscape.
2) I should have remembered the phone sooner, there were much better moments I could have recorded. All I wanted was to try out the video feature.
3) Still pretty badass when the lights come in around 0:42.
Dear Shazam:
Thank you for reminding me that it is, in fact, DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince that sing “Summertime” on Saturday night. I should have known this and blame it on the multiple margaritas messing with my memory. Talk about a life-saver!
