I spent the weekend at the cabin at the lake. If you have not been there lately (or ever) you should go. The cost is not very much and the green, relaxing, watery sensation is extremely strong. It seems that there is always someone around to talk to, someone to paddle with, someone to spit up on you (hi, Baby Dean) and someone who knows what flower or bird or critter you are looking at (usually it's Mary who knows the birds and Adele who knows the flowers, but it can vary). There is typically too much food, all of it delicious, and old friends and new. Note to self: read your own old blog posts and you will see that you always say "I should go up more" when you come back. So go!
The only thing missing this weekend was Minh. How long should these veggies cook? Oh, if only Minh were here! Where do we keep that thing? Minh knows. And so it went, from Friday to Monday.
So, if you go, plan to go with Minh, and plan to have a fun time. I paddled a bit, walked a bit and snoozed a bit every day. What could be better?

Yes, it was sad. I must have heard it a hundred times "where's Minh?", "if Minh were here", is Minh going to be here at all?", ...
I hope this doesn't happen again! We did manage to get through 3 big food events, but it wasn't easy. . . .
I have yet to visit the cabin, or lake Sebago. Needing to kennel the dog is the main roadlblock, but . . . someday. Oh, btw, that will be a Guinness please.
One Guinness for JEH, don't let me forget!
Hey, I don't think you count as a new member...that's ok, I'm good for it anyway.
and about the dogs: if you can get mid-day coverage, you can do a long day at the lake. I have done this many times: potty the dogs in the morning, run up to the lake (although I live near Throgs Neck Bridge, and so I have a head start), get a friend to potty the dogs at 3/4/5 pm, stay for dinner at the lake, be home by midnight for the dogs. It is still worth it--the tonic of going is bigger than the hassle of the babysitter.
