It’s time for a new game. Look at the pictures below, and then guess whether it is a college dorm room or the common area of our cottage at the Outer Banks. See the key at the bottom to check your answers. DO NOT CHEAT! I will refer your sorry ass to the administration! 1.…

Moving on to the Outer Banks, a major problem was staying out of the heat. That led to…No, it’s not a family of gypsies. And it’s not Woodstock. It’s not an invasion of the Mongol Horde. It’s also not a group of homeless people. It’s Abbott beach shelter 2008. Note the use of rope to…

Don’t let the picture below fool you – they are lying like that because it is comfortable, not because their bodies have shut down to cope with freezing cold water. That only happens at Lake Michigan to everyone except Laura and Gayle. The only…
