Africa

I am addicted to Toto's song, "Africa". Rich showed me an amazing acoustic guitar arrangement of the song and all was well...until...Now, I play the song over and over. Had I been warned of it's effects, I would have been more cautious before listening. Only after my addiction to the song did I learn that Rich is compelled to listen to it at least once a day and that the song plays on repeat inside his neat little brain ALL DAY LONG. The good lord only knows how many other people are under the spell.

If you're curious, you can watch this cute little man named Andy McKee play his guitar here. The amazing thing is he can cover most of the instrumental and rhythm parts all on his own.

Sleeping Equipment


I've been researching sleeping bags for about six months and finally, finally decided I needed to buy this one. After every search and comparison I did, it always came out on top. I already have a good winter bag, but it's bulky and often too hot for use in the other three seasons.

So I set out on a search for something lightweight, synthetic (everytime I camp for ultimate tournaments, it pours...performance in wet conditions was a must), highly compressible, and rated for around 20-25 degrees.

And I found her. Welcome home, my new Kelty Light Year womens bag. The fact that you are bubble gum pink is what took me six months to come to terms with, but in the end, I realized how ROCKIN a pink sleeping bag was. You won me over and now, thanks to your zippered foot box, I can enjoy hours and hours of perfectly temperate sleep. You pack down and I can take you anywhere--and I assure you, I will.
