As the sun sets on "a blog" for a few months, here I sit, in my shabby recliner, with a can of Orange Crush and a foot long Tootsie Roll, pondering what to write about...
Here's a thought: Sitcoms don't go on all 12 months of the year. What do they do on TV during the down time from certain television shows? That's right, they show re-runs. The fact that I'll be taking a sabbatical from "a blog" for a few months is no reason to panic. It's simply a time for you to check back on some of your favorite stories (and if you're new to "a blog", this is your chance to catch up - sort of like the time I watched the first 3 seasons of The Office on DVD over the course of only a couple weeks so I would understand the upcoming premiere of season 4 - and speaking of The Office, has it really been terrible lately, or what? Man, what happened?).
For those of you that can't imagine life without my weekly stories and jocularity, I wanted to pass along a new option for both keeping up with me and this great place in which I am employed:
Camp Gray's blog has been moved to blogger! Due to some technical issues with our last blog site, we've transfered the Camp Gray blog (affectionately named "Misplaced & Found") to the more familiar and user-friendly blogger.com interface. I've been extremely excited with this process and I'd love to hear your feedback! Plus, now I can post at work and not feel guilty about it (just kidding Jeff & Rebecca!). But seriously, you could say I'm now a professional writer because I'm getting paid to blog! Sweet! Check it out here: Camp Gray Blog
All that being said, I've come up with the summer schedule of "a blog" re-runs. Check back weekly to view some of my favorite posts!
Have a terrific summer, friends! I know I certainly will. Please keep Camp Gray and our hundreds of campers (and our phenomenal staff) in your prayers.

Peace be da journey!

P.S. Oh, and by the way. With mother's day on Sunday, and my dad's birthday on Friday, I wanted to recognize them both with not only this shout out, but with an amazing picture of them hiking at Devil's Lake (which is a mere 13 minute drive from Camp - yep, you should come visit and we'll go there. Yes... You.)
Happy Mother's Day, Mom!
Happy Birthday, Dad!
I love y'all!
P.S.S. The Pirates have lost 8 of 10.

I thought that today was the day the "a blog" was going to return. Single tear.
