Camp Wandawega

I decided it's time for an impromptu vacation to Wisconsin this weekend. It’s the kind of road trip you need to plan out, otherwise you could very well end up doing nothing. I ran across wandawega while scouring the internet for all things awesome. It’s really a shame because I was not prepared. My brain can't handle knowing this haven is a short 2.5 hr drive from Chicago. Naturally, they are booked up hosting a wedding this weekend. I don’t know if I’m more jealous of the bride or the owners. Camp Wandawega, I hold you in my heart.

The Garden of Your Mind

I heard a tiny clip of Happy Little Clouds by John Boswell, aka melodysheep, on the radio this morning. It led me to find that PBS Digital Studios has a pretty solid YouTube Channel. Have you ever spent an entire day with Mr. Rodger's auto-tuned voice in your head? Yikes.
