Come Fourth!
Thursday, July 3rd, 2014Happy Birthday America!
We’re officially in the thick of summer this year, and I for one couldn’t be more thankful for it. She sun is bright, the days are long, and my garden is actually looking good for a change! Thanks to a generous helping of surfside relaxation and an awesome river voyage, I’m a well tanned and happy camper 🙂
The best thing about summer so far is that there’s so much more of it coming! As I’ve said on many occasions, I usually like to hang out close to home in the summer, just taking a few short excursions to the typical New England summer fun places like Maine, the White Mountains, VT and Albany (I know that’s technically tri-state, but I’m willing to overlook that if you are, lol) for diving and socializing. This year is no different, but it feels like in between all the cookouts, swimming, hiking, and camping trips I haven’t had any time for me… know what I mean?
Let me rephrase that. Apparently I haven’t been taking enough time for *you*… and as a result I’m devastatingly horny. I realized, after taking an hour or so to spend in the company of my new G-Vibe (thank you so much! It’s been a lifesaver this summer) that there’s only so much I can expect from this admittedly awesome piece of equipment… I need some real male anatomy over here.
Humans truly are fascinating beasts, aren’t they? While my head has been swimming with unrequited lust for the past few days, I’ve gotten to thinking… I really ought to travel more. You know, venture off into uncharted territories, explore new environs, sample the local culture and bounce my behind on foreign mattresses. After all, there are plenty of places that are gorgeous this time of year, and I never see them because I’m so in love with what I’ve got here. Long story short, I’ve got to get out more.
Truth of it is though, I get out quite a bit. I just need to make sure that I get you on my itinerary! So let’s open up our calendars, shall we?
- I’ll be in the Lakes region on the weekend of the 12th and will probably stick around until the 15th. I don’t know why everyone thinks it’s such a barren wasteland up there! Barren, perhaps, but far from a wasteland. The landscape is like no other, and I can sun myself naked all day long without having to worry about peepers – unless you’d like to come have a look at my vanishing tan lines?
- VT and I have an ongoing love affair. What started off as a habitual hit and run with me and the southern half of the state (still my favorite diving spot) has grown into so much more as I’ve begun to spend time higher up in the state. This time, I’m not even planning to *go* to Brattleboro (unless you ask) as I’ll be in White River junction the 23rd and 24th, and then shooting straight up to Burlington from the 25th to the 28th. Oh, and I’ll be bringing Kassidy with me!
- August, I’m going to give in to my wanderlust and explore some new territory 🙂 I’ll be headed to Atlantic City to hit some new tables on the 7th- 12th. Casinos are usually a winter sport for me, but the beach is definitely a summertime activity.
- After that, I’ll be exploring Pittsburgh from the 13th to the 16th. I’ve never been before, perhaps I could use a tour guide? Of course, I’ll show you around my hotel room before we head out!
- While I’m here, I should point out that I schedule *far* in advance. In September I’ll be in New Orleans, from the 22nd to the 29th. Thinking about hitting Jackson up on the way… want to turn those thoughts into action?
- Then, I’m going to go take a bite out of the Big Apple in October. Peak apple season in so many ways! I’ll be there from the 4th to the 13th.
So, there are my plans… and you’re welcome to see where you can fit in to them 🙂 In the meantime, enjoy your fireworks and have a great holiday!
