Video rush
04.10.04 (2:45 pm) [edit]It's been a quiet day at work. Things started off really slowly, probably due to the holiday weekend. Most people had their video selections picked out by Thursday because the library was closed yesterday. Now that we're on our last open hour of the day, the desperate slowpokes who never plan ahead are all swarming the video/DVD racks in search of those elusive "good," new movies. :roll:
Other than that, it's been so quiet that I've actually been able to get more than half of my new paperback order done, as well as look at a couple blogs and investigate some camping gear prices online. :)
I'm planning on initiating my wife and daughter into the joys of family camping trips this summer. Unfortunately over the years, all of my old camping gear has either gone missing, been sold at garage sales or fallen apart from age. We're going to have to start from scratch and build up a new assortment of camping equipment little by little.
When I was growing up, we used to go camping all the time, both as a family and with the Boy Scouts. I used to love it and have some really great memories of sleeping in the great outdoors and sitting around campfires into the wee hours. :)
Of course after more than a few years, the memories of how grimy, buggy, cold, wet, hot, and sore we'd be when we were camping have faded to a huge degree. :wink:

I have been on camping trips and family ones at that, too. But not our family. Yes, we will have fun. I would love to camp with some more people, too. Just to make it a little more fun, to have more people to talk to. Maybe some people with kids so Ro will have someone to play with. Just a thought?

I love going camping no matter where or with whom. The worst, though, is when it rains. There are just too many things to worry about such as leaks, mud in the tent, etc...

I don't worry about that as much as animals such as skunks and bears. My family has a long history of encounters with both . . .

It's always stylin' when I'm there. :P Seriously though, I've done both kinds and prefer the roughin it kind. But when you've got a little kid along it has to be as easy and comfortable as possible.

It is a thought . . . but I'd still like to go alone a couple times first to get her used to the whole idea before involving other people.

I've been to the Boundary Waters of Canada and met up with Moose while fishing, and bears taking our fish off of our stringers. Haven't seen a wolf, yet.

I've always wanted to have a little "tent action" while going camping, but the kids have been with us.

And if you camp in the right spots there are plenty of abysses to jump into . . . :P
