Good Time at the Lake

So, last weekend was probably the best weekend I've had in a few years. I'm not usually a big drinker, but last weekend I went to Grand Lake with the old roommies, Shannon and Andrea, and their neighbors and a bunch of assorted friends. Luckily our groups meshed really well... I think the beer might have helped a little bit.
Personally, I spent the whole weekend floating around on 'The Island ... of Love!', as we called it. Shannon and I were pretty much the only ones sharing 'The Island... of Love!', but there was plenty of love for all. Occasionally Andrea would join us, and once we even had a more furry visitor (Mox you old dog!), but mainly it was only Shannon and I.
Besides living on 'The Island... of Love!', we also camped out for a couple of nights, and the last night we all crashed on air mattresses in Jeff's parents lake house (Sorry about the mess Jeff).
The nights around the citronella candle (aka 'the fire') were just as much fun as the days on the lake. Somewhere in between our 4 days at Grand the 15 to 20 of us cleared out approximately 30 to 50 cases of beer, 8 to 10 bottles of liquor (big bottles), and a whole bunch of food.
For the grand finale we even got pulled over by the lake patrol for having too many people on the boat. Luckily we got out of trouble, but it's not really a Memorial Weekend on Grand Lake till 1) you've drank a lot of beer, 2) you've been to Dripping Springs, and 3) You've gotten pulled over by the lake patrol on the way back from Dripping Springs.
What a weekend. To all of you who were there, I have a deep respect for your alcohol tolerence and it was a pleasure doin' it big wit cha. For all of you who missed out, maybe next time?

As for the rest of this week, well, it's life as usual again. I started working at OKC Rocks ... feel free to come and visit me if you ever feel like doing a little bit of climbing. I've made some pretty cool friends there, and I'm looking for a climbing partner again ... preferably female this time. Any takers?
Besides work, I'm still waiting to hear back from the Peace Corps. They sent me another package of medical paperwork, but hopefully this will be the last one. Apperently I'm 'slightly anemic'. Oh well, I'll turn the paperwork in and hopefully get my assignment this week or next week. Keep your fingers crossed for me.
That's about all of my news this time.
Untill next time, sayonara.
