Every year for the past 20 years, on the first of November, I start the reunion tour. I look forward to it as soon as the summer ends!

Unfortunately, this year, my travel season is going to be delayed a bit. Sadly, four weeks ago, I ruptured my right Achilles tendon rushing into a burning building to save a kitten…ok, maybe it was just playing pickleball! If you know anything about this injury, it is a very slow recovery. I will be non-weight bearing for several more weeks and will not be able to drive a car during this time since it was my right Achilles that was affected. Consequently, I have been forced to delay the start of the reunion tour this year until December. (Fingers crossed about that start date!)

To be clear, despite the fact that I will be starting later this year than usual, I am still planning a full itinerary of reunions. I am not going to miss my chance to see the entire country (knocked off my 50th state last year…thank you Vermont!). I’m not going to pass up the opportunity to go to the “IT” restaurants (not great for a middle aged man’s waistline…but boy it is delicious!). Nor am I going to miss the chance to swipe literally hundreds of little bottles of shampoo, conditioner, and lotion from the various hotels where I stay throughout my travels. (And let me publicly apologize to those of you whose homes I have stayed in. You may have found yourselves short of that bottle of shampoo you left in the shower…habit!)

Most importantly I’m not going to miss the amazing reunions! As anyone who has been to camp will tell you, there is just nothing like Nebagamon. The friendships are deeper, the self-confidence fostered is unmatched, the memories are unparalleled, and the sense of belonging is truly unique. So whether you are a current camper, staff member, or alumnus, the winter camp reunions are a wonderful and virtually failsafe way to reconnect to the place, the friends, and the feelings that only camp can create. So I am looking forward to seeing you all there!

Stay tuned for details…

(And in an interesting ironic twist, we just signed a contract to create brand new pickleball courts on the old LJ basketball court! I won’t be playing…)
