Missed the 22nd anniversary of this blog on Wednesday. Was on vacation in Lakeside, MI, for the week. Had very spotty cellular service and wifi service at the Lakeside Inn. Otherwise, quite relaxing. Pretty much 4 beach days on a sparsely populated sandy beach, with super rough waves transitioning to calmness over the trip. Got to use a Maui Mat for the first time. Pretty fun. Super sore from that and the over 100 step staircase to get down the beach. Thanks to the Brizzolara's. Loved having a campfire on the beach. Super useful for warming up when getting out of the water, and for cooking hot dogs and s'mores. Can definitely see heading back there again. Thinking we need to get another Nintendo Switch. Lucy's playing lots of Animal Crossing: New Horizons and Jackson plays a lot of Minecraft and Minecraft: Dungeons with Hudson. So their playtime is butting up against each other. Just found out Lucy's Roblox account got hacked into, and she lost a bunch of legendary pets in Adopt Me. So upgraded her password, setup 2 factor authentication, added a settings PIN, so hopefully she won't have a problem going forward. But still sucks. Who takes things from a clearly child's account? Some awful people out there. Also, Roblox/Adopt Me has no active session information, or trade history, so can't tell who took her stuff. Annoying. Been writing here for 22 years, on and off, mostly monthly now. And will probably keep on writing as long as I can I guess. No reason to stop. Here's to many more.

Missed writing a July post. I'm blinking and time's going right on by. We went camping as a family for the first time. Went to the Kohler-Andrae State Park, just south of Sheboygan. Pretty cool. Things to remember for next time: more blankets or sleeping bags, even in the summer; more firewood; wear bug spray, bring micro USB cable to recharge mosquito repellant device; possibly get one of those car rooftop storage units; bring swim shorts that would actually dry. But we liked it enough we're planning on going again. So yeah, we're campers. I think. Maybe we just got lucky with our first trip. Besides that, I'm trying to get better about sleeping. Haven't really been keto at all. Caught up on a lot of TV. Finished Dark, watched ZeroZeroZero, The Outsider, My Boys and started Happy Endings. Actually read some stuff, finishing Mobile Suit Gundam: Awakening, Escalation, Confrontation and Snow Crash and started Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asguard The Sword of Summer so Lucy has someone to talk to about it.
