Ah, the trees, the crisp mountain air, the distinct lack of a porcelain seat upon which to read and deposit biological waste, the paranoid shaking of boots and sleeping bags to ensure that nothing carnivorous or poisonous has made a home there...
Yes, that’s right, it’s camping time! I am going camping this weekend for the first time in…in…crap, I have no idea. Army field training doesn’t count because that’s hardly recreation; when the primary source of heat is not a small, well-groomed fire but rather the exhaust of a giant turbine engine spewing out the ass-end a 70-ton war machine at decibels normally reserved for rock concerts and temperatures normally reserved for welding, “recreation” and “camping” are not applicable descriptors.
But this should be fun; we’ll be an hour into nowhere, but there will be a large crowd so I’m sure it will be a nice experience to get away from everything. No cell phones, no news (hence, no election coverage, thank heaven!), no video games, no internet, no computer…
No computer for 48 hours…how the hell will that work?
It will be good to get into the middle of nowhere and be able to practice our Tai Chi in peace though, something that has, as of yet, escaped us as a possibility because we live in a relatively dense area.
Yes, this will be good.

Oops. I thought this was gonna be a post about Sarah Palin.
My bad!
OH DAMN FARRAGO! Why didn't I think of that!?!? I could have at least slipped in a crack about foreign relations by osmosis...
Have fun with your normal camping, sounds much better than the other option.
PS Farrago, that was funny
