Camping trip

It's been brought to my attention by our school counselor (I don't care if you're "on a break", Dave. No one else has moved into the office yet) that some folks have had a bit of a stressful week with our prodigals coming home and with the start of classes and whatnot. Since this weekend officially ends summer, Mr. Haller and I are going to be chaperoning a very simple campout, in the clearing past the treeline on the North Lawn. Yes, you'll still be in easy walking distance of the mansion if it gets "too cold" or "too rainy" or if you're scared and need Mister Fluffy.
Campout starts at 6pm on Sunday night, and will end after daybreak Monday morning. Feel free to bring out tents, blankets, sleeping bags - they're all available for you to use, but leave the laptops and the CD players and the portable TVs in your rooms. There's a campfire pit for cooking marshmallows and hot dogs (and probably you can kebab yourself some veggies for the herbivores), and if you're still bored, there's a pretty well-lit horseshoe pitch out there.
So if you feel like tearing yourself away from the TV for a night and enjoying a bit of the simple life, grab your gear and meet out at the clearing tomorrow night after dinner. Alumni are welcome, too. Get to know the new kids, share the horror stories about Doc McCoy's swimwear or whatnot.
And no, before you ask, Mr. Marko will not build a log cabin for you, nor may you use me for anchoring your lean-to should it rain.
See you all out there.
