Every seven years, my life gets interesting. I'm 35 now. Hold on tight, it's about to get interesting again.

First of all: we went camping and did a bit of sight-seeing. When it comes to the great outdoors, there's one thing that Nature has always known.

I am the King of Insects.

Small insects love me and want to in my general vicinity at all times. That usually involves biting me. I used to use DEET-based stuff which was smelly and sticky, so I'm glad for a substance called 'picaridin'. Cutter Advanced™ is the only insect repellent available in the US with this stuff in it. It smells faintly of Bailey's Irish Cream, which is nice, and works great. I'm happy to give it due props here.

The mosquitoes have asked me to abdicate. Maybe I'm not the King of Insects. I'm not the Lord Of The Flies either.



We also visited picturesque Longwood Gardens and I took this picture. It's actually four pictures all 'Photoshopped' together.

So what's the interesting stuff? We put a deposit down to build the house. The bank has our mortgage application and it all starts in earnest from next week. Whooo boy.
