That's right!
Only three more days until Our Summer/Fall Adventure...or 398 gazing balls give or take a few. The wine is chilled. The chocolate awaits. And I am fighting the urge to decorate for Fall until you are here, too. Okay...so I switched the tart scent to Warm Baked Apple...but that is all..I promise. For the record...it is hard to share the decorating gene...lol!
And Fall is definitely in the air. Much cooler and even a few leaves slowly drifting down. The colour change is subtle. Mostly yellows...a bit of muted orange here and there. (okay...maybe I'll just put a few sunflowers in a vase on the table...)
Discovered a new twisted card game (...Cards Against Humanity...) with Chris, Kyle and Tina...spawning at least one evening of a Pizza Party and Cards with The Kids while you are up!
Cards Against Humanity
A black box filled with black and white cards...ala Apples to Apples (on meth).
Example:
Yeah...it's kind of like this. Wickedly funny and sometimes just disgustingly bizarre.
Idgy...after the IMA ordeal...you'll fit right in!
Which brings us to last night's activities. During a late night stroll on campus Chris and Tina were treated to a long standing Depauw Campus Tradition. The Boulder Run. Although, traditionally, the run is to occur the day or night of the first snowfall of the season. Now it is done pretty much when ever the mood strikes. Started in the 70's during the height of the Streaking phenomenon...it continues to this day.
Students streaking from their residence to the Columbian Boulder
in the Center of campus, and then back again.
(...not an official campus sponsored activity I might add...)
So imagine their surprise when last night they were greeted during their walk with....that's right...a small herd of naked students bounding for the Boulder.
No, guys...it is not considered good form to chase them. Pointing and laughing is right out.
Immortalized in Playboy Magazine in 1972...and alive and well in 2014!
"Don't LOOK, Ethel!"
This week's book also a throw-back. On the Road by Jack Kerouac. A microcosm of a Generation. My Generation. Hippies. Free Love. Hitch-hiking. Drugs. A Time of Ass, Grass or Gas...Nobody Rides for Free. A hard gaze back at the Counter-Culture.
A Classic.
If you are a Boomer, you will smile and nod your head. Remembering.
If you are a Millennial, you will roll your eyes and shake your head. Then you will look at your parents through new eyes. Or perhaps warily.
Either way...well worth the read!
Making the last minute plans for our adventure...then relaxing for the weekend.
(...maybe just a pot of Mums on the patio????)
Have a Great Weekend!
