yosemite!

          Tonight I'm leaving for a 3-day camping trip to Yosemite! I'm going with my great friend Cati who works for REI, and this is their company-sponsored trip. Can you imagine a better way to camp for a barbie pilgrim? Probably the only time in my life I'll be fully and properly equipped for an outdoor adventure. I keep thinking about the group dinners they will make for us. . . . I'm looking forward to making s'mores, seeing cute animals in nature, and maybe even conquering my fear of heights enough to climb Half Dome, although those handrails look pretty harrowing.

On second thought. . . . 

I go with excited anticipation and high hopes of avoiding the Hantavirus.
