In the past month and a half I’ve been camping twice, which is two more times than I have been since Table Rock way back in 2004.
In October, I and a few other friends flew out to Seattle for an overdue visit to Andy. Then the five of us drove out to Hurricane Ridge in the Olympics and camped in the mountains. ...

I’ll be there from the 16 through the 21, and Phil—did I mention Phil is also coming?—will be there as well from the 17 through the 20. It is just …
Did you know that ‘roundup’ is not hyphenated? I didn’t, prior to this post. That means the herbicide’s name really is grammatically correct—something that seems to be rare among products and marketing slogans these days.
