To my masses of loyal readers: I am sorry for disappearing. This month and next are more fun and exciting than I can record in this web-space, so I've felt a bit overwhelmed...
It all began with a wonderful trip to Peninsula, Ohio, perhaps one of the most charming little towns anywhere. JessM was a wonderful hostess. There were beavers and bicycles and people who love Harry Potter. Vodka on the porch, poop smoothie waste recycling, sun tubes, Europe's Final Countdown, Winking Lizard, and more.
This past weekend, Brod and I set out for Southern WV with my dad early on Saturday morning. The family reunion was disappointing in itself, but the three of us were ridiculous together, which made it a very worthwhile trip. Saturday afternoon we decided to climb the Patterson mountain - Mario and I accomplished this feat ten years ago, but that trail has long since overgrown and disappeared. So, the fearless three set out on a new route, but we were soon lost and wandering on cattle paths. My favorite part is that all throughout the intense heat and humidity and steep mountain climb, Mario chugged a Busch Light. Lost, leaning against trees for rest, stopping every hundred yards with exhaustion, the beer was constant. Classic. Brod and Mario P. also cooked a monstrous pot of stew for 100 people. They stirred it with a West Virginia stick. Photos from these road trips will hopefully follow (I lie, remember...)
