Man Trip 2007:
The
Upgrade
What can I say? It's less than a week from the start of Man Trip 2007,
and all I've accomplished is a good-looking t-shirt. Babies! They consume
all available time. As a secondary excuse, I had to focus a good bit of
extra time actually getting the venue ready. A month ago, right about when
the bunkhouse was ready to go, a faucet valve failed and flooded the
bunkhouse with two inches of hot water for three days. So, for the past
month, I've been overseeing the rebuild from the slab up. What a joy. It's
sort of like what Clark use to do, but without the threat of a meth-lab
explosion a few days after completion.
One last note: Some have asked, over the years, where Choate get's his
unrelenting desire to work long hours without a moment of rest. It's the
genetics, my friends. Pure genetics.
Also, when you get a chance, check out the past winners of the
MAN TRIP Award of Excellence. You'll notice that
there's no 2006 winner.
