My oh my, life is a vast and exciting thing. In a few hours I leave this mortal toil for Wisconsin Dells, in the heart of Mayberry Country. I already have a cooler full of beer cooling in my car, and this very morn I purchased day glo orange swimming trunks at Walmart for $3 (for if there's one thing that can possibly make me look hotter without a shirt on in December, it's DayGlo orange). I bought batteries, too, to fuel my love of rock-n-roll (I run my CD player through the car's tape deck player) and I have an ample array of CDs to rock out to. I fear no snow, no deer, no Wisconsin/Illinois driver. I will be drinking in hot tubs, splashing in pools, sliding down elaborate, rat-maze like tubes of plastic only to be deposited, gleefully, in the bluish depths of a lukewarm pool. This is my step-dad's family Christmas Event and we're all staying in smashing multi-room suites. Ho ho ho, indeed.
Rock on!

Very exciting! You will have so much fun that the memory will burn into your brain forever.
Mayberry is in North Carolina. DUH.
Even so, good times!! Your step-dad is so rad!
I'm so envious!!!
Where are you/did you stay?
I just spent some time I will never get back in Wisc. Dells this summer. A nightmare if you ask me. But then again, I didn't have beer.
Try not to catch the hep B from the public pools.
Cheers!
At least you won't get shot by the random hunters prowling through the watery wilderness.
Well, I survived the weekend. Now I need a vacation from my vacation....
