Camped last night with Ben, Alex, Kelly, Ellie, Kai and Eric. And Ian and Adam too.
We got there at like 10 and the park ranger discovered their plans for the evening...
...so instead of a night of entertainment we all just sat around the fire -- which took like 40 minutes to get started -- and talked until the wee hours of the morning. Alex and I took a short walk on a very dark road and when we got back everyone was sitting at the picnic table playing with the Citronella candles.
We turned in at 1:30 but Kai and I stayed up talking until fucking 4 or something insane like that. Every time we would finally run out of things to say, Ben would yell out something in his sleep: one time it was "Is Julia here? Good, because I'm going to poop in her pea soup." One time he sat up whimpering and said "Oh fuck, one just bit my toes! Do they apologize after they bite you?" Sending Kai and I into maniac fits of giggles...we discussed if it was possible to accidentally bite someone and if so, how to escape the situation with class.
Maybe it was because he was greased up on 4 beers, but Kai is about the friendliest guy around.
I got NO sleep and woke up at sunrise and took a walk along the bluff overlooking Saylorville. We packed up in the rain and went home and I fell into bed at 8 and woke up at noon.
Now practice is cancelled -- hell fucking yeah -- so I have the night off!
