Piss on all Mondays! They suck worse than a broken vacuum cleaner in a mud hole!
Well, with that out of the way allow me to apologize for my silence over the last few days. The end of last week snuck up on me (gently smacking me in the back of the skull with a hammer!) and I barely had time to breathe, much less post here. I found out last minute that I was traveling all day Friday for work, so Thursday was a mad dash of preparation and re-scheduling. To top it off, when I got home that night, the boy and I had to run out shopping for supplies and fishing gear for our weekend campout (which I barely made it back in time for Friday!) It was a tad hectic.
The good thing is that the weekend was fantastic! We went canoeing and fishing in one of the state parks down in southern NJ and had a blast. There are few things funnier than watching thirty 11-14 year old kids trying to get canoes over sand bars in a low-water river. Not only that but the boys managed to swamp their boats more times than I could count and/or ram them into the mud banks at the edge of the river where they couldn't get free. I spent more time in the water helping the boys than I did in my own canoe. That's alright though, it was still a lot of fun. Weather was perfect: not a cloud in the sky and temps in the mid 70's (low 50's at night) You can't ask for better when you're camping!
As for writing: nothing doing. Didn't touch a thing. Hopefully tonight (lunch today is locked up with a new trainee and errands for Scouts I need to run) but even that is questionable. We finally (I think!) have a contractor for the renovations and he may be coming by tonight to sign the final contract. (I hope!)
Anyway, Monday is all over me (and it so . . . icky!!!) so I have to run. I'll try to be better with the posts this week.
Later!
