Day 6: Realizations

A note from the Hays, Kansas Sleep Inn.

ONE:

Blogging properly -- either as a chronicle of events or as a chronicle of ideas -- is harder work than I thought.  To do it right, it probably needs to be done regularly and with thought.

Given this epiphany, I may rename this sucker to "An Improper Blog"

TWO:

Cooking in camp with one adult is much harder than I expected.

THREE:

My back is now more of a limiting factor in determining the limits of nonstop driving than my son.  My back also limits the camping I can do.  At least the uncareful kind.

FOUR:

My son doesn't realize his limits/needs (e.g. bathroom, food, sleep) until after he has (nearly) exceeded them (that just made my lovely wife think "aaaaaaaaaah!" and "I knew it!" in quick succession).  Fortunately, he's resilient.

FIVE:

It is very very easy for a certain kind of person (e.g. me) to fill up pages with negative observations.  This does not accurately reflect reality, though.  So I will try to emphasize the positive in recounting days three through five.  But that will mean editing my first impulses, which I'm not sure i want to do.  Hm.

Is it just me or are your blog posts out of order?

More pictures needed.

Well, they're in chronological order. But I'm not getting to the days in chronological order.

I'll be updating with photos -- which I'm uploading to my flickr account.
