I was born to run

(No not the cartoon)

Hey kids and squids-

So Lorna and I are planning an overnight backpacking trip on the Appalachian Trail - no, not the whole thing (that's the dream though), just from Maine to New York. It's about 150 miles, and probably a 2-3 day trip, depending on how fast we move. Hiking, camping under the stars, all the good stuff.

My question is - who's interested in joining us? We'll do it over a weekend, probably Friday-Sunday, good times to be had by all.

We'll need a roll call relatively soon, so we know how much to bring in terms of supplies and everything, and everyone is welcome :D

When you're stuck in bed and can't move because your skateboard boot only sorta worked and you almost broke your second leg?

Listen to scary stories on YouTube. They're actually a lot of fun but like...this one.

I mean yeah I get that it says "encounters with Real Witches" in the title but I could dress up Lorna in a Sasquatch costume, film her, and put it on YouTube and title it "Authentic Sasquatch Sighting" (note to self...) so like...are these people just making shit up or what?

SNOW SNOW SNOW SNOW SNOW.

THERE'S SNOW.

GUYS THERE'S SNOW.

SNOW.

Scott shoved a laptop at me and told me to introduce myself so...this is me introducing myself.

I'm Alex Summers (no relation to that Scott guy) okay yes I'm related to that Scott guy and...jeez, this feels like an icebreaker. I was never any good at icebreakers.

I know! Three things - two are true, one's a lie. Try to guess the lie.

-I've broken my left and right legs once each, my right arm three times, and my left wrist once.
-I've gone through eight cell-phones because I keep losing them or breaking them or some weird combination of both.
-I came in first in the Nevada Junior Skateboard Competition when I was fifteen.

Your turn!

Please talk to me I don't think the doctors are ever going to let me leave.
