The Return to Trammp's (and the rest of the weekend)

Well, another weekend gone.

I did a lot this weekend.

First of all, on Friday, I returned to Blade Runners, for their public skatins session. Although I'm a terrible ice skater, it was still fun.

Then Saturday, I went to the Senica Valley swimming pool. And I took the plunge. Although it was indoors, it was still chilly. But I still had a good time.

Finally, the big event of the night came. My glorious return to Trammps. I remember going last year with George Praskovich and others. This time thought I was bringing the camp crew along.

So, First I stopped at Beaver Valley Mall, and met Zach and Rachael. Zach rode with me, and Rachael followed. While driving down Rt. 60, we called Jess to see how she was doing.

This was the second time my passenger talked to her, while I drove down Rt. 60. The first time was Gary in the DejaVue Trip.

So, Zach, Rachael and I arrived. The Laurie called totally lost. She and Andrea, were at the Wendy's in Greentree. I drove off to get them.

Jess and Jason drove up moments after I showed up. Once everybody was all there, I led the troops to West End, where Trammp's awaited us.

Question of the night: "How did you find out about this place?"

Answer: "Some friends from the musical brought me here."

So, we all went in, and sat around. First I sang my infamous "Footloose" again. Then Jason did a couple of songs. Later, Zach and I struggled with "Nights on Broadway" only knowing part of the melody, from SNL's "The Barry Gibb Talk Show", which we sang a lot at camp. Zach, Jason and I all did "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" later, and finally, after a long wait, Jess and I sang "Ain't no Mountain High Enough".

When we weren't singing up front, we all sang, and BS'd in the back of the bar at an eight person table.

So, today, I watched the Steeler game. Ooh...It was close. And nervracking. And I also think there were some unfair calls. But we still won 21-18.

Well, untill next time...

A Hooters Calender...

Earlier today, my mother got a "Hooters" calender from a friend via e-mail.

So, she was checking her e-mails and said "Ooh...I got a Hooters calender." I walked over to her computer, to see it. She said "No, I don't think you should see it. You're a boy."

I don't need to talk about Hooters restaurant, do I?

Finally she let me look at it. I held my breath. But you know what it was?

It was a calender of OWLS!!!

Ha-ha-ha!


Man! Mom got me good. I thought it was a calender of the restaurant, but it wasn't.

Oh well.

Untill next time...

Camp Weekend: Charades, Chris Farley, and a luncheon

Another Camp Weekend Gone...

This past weekend was interesting. Several staff that I have yet to see at a weekend showed up at this one. Tom, Phil, Celeste, Angie, Sam, and others worked this one.

Anyhow, On Friday, the campers showed up, and we ate, and we did some early arts and crafts. Then the campers went to bed. After that Tom let me play his computer games, while we waited 'till later to go to bed.

After a sleepless night, of campers going to the bathroom every five minutes, and one making noise through the night, we got through Saturday. We did more New Year's Crafts, including glitter hats, and noise-makers, and other New Year's themes. Then that night Celeste led a game of charades with the campers. I didn't see too much of that because I was showering campers at the time. Then we watched a recording of the New Years Eve ball drop, hosted by Dick Clark. Unfortunately, he was weak, because of his recent stroke.

Oh well, it was still fun.

Later that night, Zach and I watched "Saturday Night Live: The Best of Chris Farley" and laughed at it. Too bad Farley is dead now.

So today, we cleaned up and went. During that I taught Phil and Celeste the lift done, in "Go go go Joseph", from the musical months ago. The lift that Emily and Paul, and Ashley and Aaron, had done, for those of you who saw the musical.

So later today, We all had a gathering at Max and Erma's in Cranberry. Sam, Laura, Angie, and Rachel and I met there, and Jess, Andrea, and Jason came too. Laurie was delayed though, because one camper had not left camp yet.

The staff of this one particular camper, who shall remain nameless, are really stupid. This same staff, took a wheelchair van across the Spencer/Kon-o-Kwee Bridge, and crashed it because it was too big. This happened over the summer.

Take a bow, ya bunch of Geniuses.

Oh well, Lots of stuff coming up. Stay tuned...
