michigania
the annual family trip to camp michigania was fun. as usual. alisa made some gorgeous tie dyed shirts. as usual. she also batik'd a scarf that came out really cool. i'll have to give her occasion to wear it. i had burgers every day for lunch. salad for dinner every night. i didn't go to ropes. i'm too old and fat. i sailed a butterfly in perfect wind. it was really light. way too light for real sailors. they'd be bored. all the old friends are good. one of their daughter's voice changed. though i seem to be the only one who noticed. whatever. somewhere along the line snot became a verb. as in, you snotted on my sweatshirt. the boys got their field archery. so we went out and shot a bar under an apple tree. b lost three arrows. and found three different arrows. so we're all good. right? alisa and i signed up for the kayak excursion. it was fun. there was no wind. lotta fog. so we stayed close to shore. camp picked up a pair of paddle boards. they looked like fun in hawaii. they were okay. turns out, the speed of my leg reflexes exactly matches the resonant frequency of the paddle board. so things got kinda exciting some times. you can't paddle them straight. you kinda s-turn your way from place to place. i'll try one again. pretty sure i like kayak's better.
