Making Our Marks: We Coleman Camped

We Coleman Camped

Our weekend featured more than a few items from a certain prominent brand of camping gear, spanning decades of purchase dates, from "seasoned" items handed down to us from our parents to new items acquired via E-bay and Amazon.com.

We slept in Coleman flannel sleeping bags on a Coleman king-sized airbed, inflated with a Coleman battery powered air pump...

under a Coleman battery powered fan/overhead light...

inside a (you guessed it) Coleman 8-person tent.

We looked for our stuff with a Coleman wide-beam flashlight...

We set up our camp by the light of a Coleman lantern...

We kept our perishables in a Coleman cooler...

and cooked part of our breakfast on a Coleman camp stove (although the rest of our cooking was done properly on the fire, thank you very much!)

Hey Coleman guys! We like your stuff!!

So why is the world's worst correspondent starting a blog???

I can't handle Facebook--it's information [I use the term loosely] overload and (on the rare occasions that I actually look at it) I end up in complete social networking paralysis--but Emilie has this adorable, funny, thought-provoking, quietly inspiring little blog and I've been itching to try my hand. I used to write stuff. Here's my chance to compose little anecdotes and feel like I'm being communicative even if I am using it as an excuse to sit all alone in a book-lined study. If nothing else, some of those digital pictures of which I am so proud might finally find a home where people will actually see them. And maybe, just maybe, something will be posted here that makes someone laugh, or smile, or cry, or feel a renewed sense of wonder or love or self-worth or perspective...just like Emilie's blog does for me. But probably I'll mostly just talk about food.
