Uncle Markie in the Woods, Day 2.

I seem to be getting into this wonderful routine…. sleeping until 9:00 or 10:00, then going over to Jamshed’s cabin (a faerie who came to a gathering 19 years ago and didn’t leave) for coffee, conversation, and ethernet. My excuse is that I need to check for any last minute cancellations. Thinking that excuse won’t work tomorrow.

Lunch at the usual 12:30 where I hover by the door waiting to be first in line (something about no breakfast since thats 8:00-9:30am) so I can eat and go out to the meadow pools to soak in peace, while the rest of the boys are at lunch.

Afternoon nap followed by a lovely conversation with MissFire and a little vino, before the cabin starts filling up at 5:00 with eighteen people for pupu platters and cocktails before dinner. Mind you, this is forbidden. So “mum’s” the word.

After dinner is the first night of the Talent/Auction/Fashion Cabaret… of course, lots of people want to be in tomorrows show, so this one had too many auction items to fill time — but we did raise over a $1000, so that’s like sending three faeries to camp. Tomorrow I’ll auction off the leopard print boots that I got on zappos. It seems that they fit a lot of people who can’t normally fit into woman’s off the rack shoes.

Mark and Onyx headed to bed early (like 10:30), so the post-party headed to Cabin A-2 (we are in Cabin A-1) at Mike Leckie’s place. I’ve know Mike for years — used to own property with him and Chris Langdon, who is also in that cabin as well.

Midnight and sleepy time.
