This Friday, Poodledoc, Jr, his friend Alfonso, and myself will be heading off to Northern Yearly Meeting. Our Quaker Meeting here in Madison is “under the care” of Northern Yearly Meeting as are many other Meetings in the upper or northern Midwest.
It takes place at a Lion’s Camp near Rosholt,WI. There’s a beautiful lake. It lasts until Memorial Day and is a mix of socializing, fun, meetings, business, more socializing and if the weather is warm, lots of fun in the water.
I plan to camp and am looking forward to the break from the Madison routine. Poodledoc, Jr and Alfonso are staying in the “Younger Teens Cabin”, with chaperones. These folks are brave. They probably do hang gliding, bungee jumping, walk on hot coals, that sort of thing. I do not plan to be one of the chaperones. I will just try to be sure that the boys eat their vegetables. I am looking forward to seeing old F/friends, meeting some new ones and sitting by the still lake in the early morning. While the teens are still sleeping!

I hope you all have a good time. I was kind of turned off when I went to NYM. It seemed kind of cliquish and I guess I'm not really good at that sort of thing.
Wait! ...ooohhhh...
This is Professor Persnickety taking control of the weak human's fingers to make it write "substitute the word 'I' for the word 'myself' in that first sentence. You'll be glad you did."
...ooohhh... huh? wha?
Where was I? Oh, well. I hope you and PD Jr have a good time.
Yes, I can see how being a non-Quaker or a new Quaker might feel strange.....
I hope you're having a wonderful time and I'm glad you're not a chaperone. I agree, those people are brave. I must admit, I was never a volunteer for chaperoning on school or other trips---I just don't think I could've handled it.
I'll have to give it another try, next year perhaps. Glad you had fun.
