I went camping!!
Yes, that is right, I did it on purpose. Am I into punishing myself you ask? Am I going to consider becoming a monk and shunning the modern world and I did this as a test run? Well, I did not do it for any of the above reasons. I did it to relax. I know, I know, how can one relax when disconnected from the world like that? And I will tell you it was not easy.
Take Saturday for instance. We had a great day on the lake, enjoying the nice weather. We were kicking back, relaxing, having a few adult beverages and then it occurred to me. I have no idea what Paris Hilton is doing right now. Is Victoria Beckham finally in America? Has Britney allowed her hair to grow in completely and what color is it coming in? I closed my eyes, scared to think about what might happen to me since I did not know any of this. Then I opened them, and I opened them slowly of course.
And to my surprise, the sun was still shining, the birds were still flying and people were actually enjoying themselves. How can this be, what secret source of information were they using to find all of the answers to the questions I posed. I thought about it and I thought about it for a very long time, maybe all of three seconds. Then it dawned on me. Honestly, who cares....
I got to see my daughter do some of the silliest dives she could think of off of the boat. I sat there and watched my son try to talk anyone he could find into riding his bike with him. I watched him as just a week ago I had to help him start on a bike ride and he jumped right on that bike and away he went. I caught up with friends. I sat down and made dinner. And it was done not using a microwave.
So, my advice to all of you, try it too. See if you can handle it. It may be tough at first, but it will be more than worth it.
Till next time,
Tuck out!

The bigger question is: "Will you survive tonight?"
Is anyone home or did everyone move out?
This is great info to know.
