One or More Things I Did Today

And Let It Be Known, that on July 10th, in the year of 2 thousands and 11, I was up to this:

Wow, took me a few days to get to this one. But I swear this is what I was up to last Sunday!
  • Triumphantly* awoke from sleeping outside the tent for a second straight night.
  • Found myself sleep planking**.
  • Ate leftovers for breakfast. Combine those two hyperlinks (or, more specifically, the subjects of them) and you'll have yourself a beast of a meal.
  • Hey, let's go hiking!
  • Sounds good, but first let's pack up the campsite and scoot through the dew***.
  • Rocked a bit of a hike, saw some palm trees, and climber Mastodon Peak, but ultimately limited our hike due to the heat**** and our heavy legs.
  • But, good news: Jeffrey's aunt had a pool in the Claremont are. This ensued.
  • But before that, we stopped by Target to pick up my cell phone*****.
  • Probably a good time to tell you about the Dippin' Dots we savored on the ride back.
  • Did you know that Dippin' Dots has made impressive strides in dot ice cream since you first encountered it at the mall or waterpark? I didn't either. But they have!******
  • The best part of the day? We made it back to Kyle and Liz's in time for dinner.
  • What did we have for dinner? I'm glad I typed that question, because we had tamales, steamed in a pot over an open flame in the backyard.
  • Innovation: I suggested we toss some of them apricots on the grill.
  • Success!
  • Hot success!
  • Once all the fun had been had, we decided it was time to call it a night.
  • Slept.
  • Picture:
Desert asparagus for you?

As they say, "It was a Day".


*Adverbs are proof that god loves us and wants us to be happy.
**Can't get too much of a good thing, you feel me?
***Apparently this was a favorite expression of my great-grandfather. Had to shoehorn this in.
****Pansy.
*****It and I were playing a game of hide and seek. It chose the single occupancy restroom as its hiding place, which lasted for a couple of days. I tell ya, those smart-phones. What will Jobs think of next?!
******Don't believe me? Chew on this delicious hyperlink and discover the depths of infinity.

Planking Across America: Big Sur Edition

It's been rumored that Jack Kerouac was and continues to be the spiritual inspiration for planking.

Think about that for a second.

Done?

Then check out these sublime planking shots, snap your fingers to a bee-bop beat, and ponder infinity:


National Geographic Planking, Natural Habitat, Self Portrait

Planking Nature's Splendor, Assisted Shot

Planking the Plank, Meta-planking, Assisted Shot

Planking the Abyss, ft. Oblivious Japanese Tourist, Assisted Shot










Planking the Unknown, Mind-expanding Plank, Invisible Shot



I'd like to dedicate this planking compendium to Nick and Dan*. Nick and Dan, these planks are for you.



*Brian, your dedication is in the mail. I swear! Send me those photos.

Dealing With 800 Pound Gorillas and/or Elephants In the Room Before They Hatch

Look, let's get one thing straight.

Let me level with you.

I'm bound to repeat jokes in my blog posts.

It's going to happen.

...

I'm glad we've faced that fact together.

Now, on to driving jokes into the ground!
