Afterglow 2008 - Day 4 Tuesday

Home

Tim had a really good idea, but his would only occupy about 5 minutes of our time - make some sweet sandwiches. You could probably stretch it out longer, but then what? We needed a plan.

When we woke up on Tuesday, we could tell that it was gonna be a crappy day. For most people, that would mean that swimming was out of the question, but since we signed the pact, we had no choice but to take a dip in the big pool, swim out to the raft, and jump off the high dive. As I've stated in the past, we would swim regardless of any signed agreement. We only get 7 days up here in which to enjoy the water, so unless lightning is hitting the lake and all of the fish are belly up in the water, I'm swimming. But since it was rather cold, we didn't spend too much time in the big pool. But what little time we did spend in there got us all revved up for the little pool, no matter how little it was this year.

Hot tubs are pretty f-ing sweet, which is a big understatement. Everyone who owns one loves it, and everyone who doesn't own one is jealous of the people that do. That having been said, I still don't like that they replaced the old one with this new one. It might have been intentional, but we can't jam everyone in this one like we used to be able to do. I know they did it on purpose just to spite us.

Since it was after 12:00 noon, the time was right to start doing some shots. I already had a mixed drink this morning (as shown in the hot tub picture on the left) but now it was time for Irish Car Bombs. ICB's are Guinness with a shot glass filled with Jameson and Bailey's dropped in. You have to drink it all in one gulp so it doesn't mix together, and the end result is deliciously tasty.

Although it was early afternoon, we had all gathered indoors. There really wasn't anything to do, so we all just sat there looking bored. It would take a creative genius to come up with a plan.

The shirt couldn't get the party started, and neither could Jenny's book. She was nose deep in it, and it must have been good because she couldn't come up with any ideas how we could spend our afternoon. We were now stuck trying not to waste a day here.

Kevin's plan was pretty darn sweet - wear a random and funny t-shirt that would inspire conversation. His shirt says "I had a marvel...ous time at David's Bar Mitzvah 9/03/05." Kevin did not attend David's Bar Mitzvah, but he did find this shirt at Goodwill.
