Getting all dewy

blue-dragon-fly.jpg

Many years ago, just out of high school on a camping outing with friends, I drank too much, acted up, ate a raw chicken, and passed out on the outside of the tent when I thought I was inside it. When I woke up, I was lying next to a pile of blood-red chicken bones and covered in dew. In other words, I was not strangely beautiful like these giant hi-res photos of bugs in the morning dew. But some people certainly wanted to squish me.

    Perhaps not as beautiful, but passed out wedged between your bed and the wall was very entertaining for the rest of us. As was your being the foundation for a beer can pyramid in front of the Christmas tree. I’m more interested in how you look after a self-induced coma these days. Does Val wish to comment?

    That had to have happened on the camping-canoe where we almost decided to leave you behind in the New Jersey Pine Barrens. For a small fee I will not pass the story on to your kids.

    Well, there’s two disgusting stories for ya! Eeep.

  4. Lee Wochner Says:

    Paul: No, that was years prior to the camping-canoe trip. The camping-canoe trip was after college, but before grad school. So much for your work as unofficial archivist!

    …Oh, I agree with Mark (Said in the voice of David Gergen)…
