holy black flies...

so that trip to the porkies was cut super short... our first day of hiking was fun. we made it 7 miles into our 4 day trip. bugs weren't too terrible after we started a fire and it made for a good first night... however... on the second day when we got close to superior we were swarmed with black flies. the poor dog was covered... so we made the decision to hike the remaining 17 miles to the car... i thought i was going to die. ok, that could be a large exaggeration.. but seriously the flies were so bad at some points that i was in tears... yeah, only thing worse would be bees or wasps.. uck.

since we cut the trip short we were back in houghton early... unfortunately we were in bad shape from the all the hiking and fleeing from the stupid bugs... a lazy fourth of july that included movies was the right combo...

yesterday casey got a haircut... not a trim.. a shave... he definitely is an ugly dog... adam also picked a tick off of him last night. not cool. if i ever have a tick on me, i'll totally freak out. but casey didn't seem to pay it much mind.

thursday i give a speech on the similarities between myself and a bauer hockey skate... specifically the comparisons in my supportiveness and the skates' and also the same aggressive characteristic that we share... o yeah, hopefully not disasterous.

live dangerously... wear tights...
