This past weekend I went to LACROSSE CAMP.

Yes, that’s right, a sports camp. The kind where you go to some place with lots of other people who play your sport, and you sleep in dorms and eat at big long tables and spend the daylight hours running drills and playing tournaments. HA! What a bizarre thing for me to be figuring out at this point in my life: I love playing team sports. (I guess I knew that, but I didn’t realize that playing on a team was so possible as an adult with no exceptionally developed athletic skills.) Along with having a bar, this is something I am going to try to incorportate into my future life.

I’ll spare you the details, except to say I am so sore it hurts to change positions. And: I swam in the North Sea! How cool is that? (I don’t mean how literally cool is that, because I bet you can imagine. I mean, how life-experience cool.)

Much as I like Colorado and several other spots in the middle of the US, I think I will always need to live near the ocean.
