2nd annual w in w

Apologies for a serious lack of blogging, especially to those abroad and alumni who want to know about this business:

Oooooh lordy.

So Shelley, Hilary, and I headed out yesterday afternoon to plant the wine for our second annual wine in the woods. We used the same amount as last year, which could have spelled trouble.

We began the event with a hole deep in the wilderness and gave ourselves tribal names like "Sticky boobs (someone spilled wine all over)" and "Jolly Chrystanthemum." We encountered some strange, foreign folk but moved on. At the second hole, we all commented on what we would remember most about the last year and finally what we want to be remembered for. Our making it through all three boxes probably had a lot to do with multiple people washing out their cups and giving a little wine back to the Earth.

We all somehow made it back to dinner after the third hole and were quite the site to see. Ultimately there were a few injuries, a few exposed bottoms, and maybe a few confused bystanders, but a big success, I think.
