Another Summer, Some More Itching...




For those of you with really excellent capacity for recollection, you will recall that last summer, all but one of us was plagued with an itchy case of the chicken pox. Well, this summer has been a lot more fun -- but not without its itches and scratches. While on an annual canoe trip, the intrepid Tobin stepped on a nest of yellow jackets. The enraged yellow jackets flew up Tobin's swim trunks, causing considerable discomfort. Miles, an innocent bystander, received only two stings from the disturbed nest. Unfortunately, he was stung once over each eye, and almost immediately his eyes began to swell shut. Despite these injuries, the canoe trip was terrific fun. All five of us in one canoe are beginning to sit a little low in the water -- we may have to have two canoes next year!
