Summer Achievements

I hate it when people ask me what I did this summer and I can't remember a god damn thing I did. Not at all. Nothing. I met my five reading teacher co-workers for lunch this week and they asked me what I've been up to. I had nothing to tell them. So maybe if I make a list of my "summer achievements", I won't forget everything I did.

--Mason Lake camping
--Snowy Mountain hike in Adirondacks
--Ommegang Tournament (camping, dam building, beer, bands)
--July 4th Firecracker Five Mile (my first road race)
--MARS tournament near Pittsburgh (three days of camping, beer, and a charango)

And coming soon...BOULDER!
I leave on Friday and will be back on Wednesday. So far, there will be ultimate for the weekend, and then a couple nights of hiking and hut camping afterwards. I still don't know what to pack, considering the weather is supposed to be really cold on the mountain. I heard HAIL. And SNOW. I may not be prepared for this undertaking. Dying on the mountain would be a good way to go, but still not as cool as being malled by a bear or struck by lighting.

Most impressive ways to die:
Bear/Mountain Lion/Walrus Attack
Lightning
Hypothermia in the Rocky Mountains
Plane Crash
Titanic

Lamest way to die:
Lint fire
