project: waxing party

Thank you to everyone who came down to help with the boat waxing. Love was all around us. First, a hearty thank you to everyone who came out at all - travelling to come wax a boat isn't the most compelling reason to get out the bunk, and compared with the infinity of other things they could have done, people actually showed up. Beautiful.

But, more specifically, a thank you to those who came from far away. Thanks to Jack for simply being there. Thank you to Bennett and Catey for bringing the coffee and Harriet Tubman. To Dan and Nick for the surprise birthday cake for Nick. To Mike for extra ice and good advice. To Conan and Bernice for their enthusiasm and willingness to trek. To Lukeman (and especially to Selena who provided the opportunity for Ah-Luke to come out) for his banter. And a thank you to Allison for being an outstanding co-host.

Missing in body, but there in spirit were David, Kim, and Rick, Selena, KC, and Marike.

Seriously. You guys are the best.

Look at them go:


Mmmmmmm...beer...
