Go placidly amid the noise and waste, and remember what comfort there may be in owning a piece thereof.

Some years ago, we were thrashing our way up a wild drainage in the pouring rain, aiming for Mount Logan, when I tried to escape the brush by walking down a long sloping log. Two-thirds of the way down, I slipped and slid off the end, landing in a bees nest. Ever try to escape bees while wearing a 50-pound pack in dense, sopping wet brush? I got stung a dozen times in the head before I outran them. When I stopped, panting, dripping, I looked down, and at my feet was a big mylar balloon. "Happy Birthday!" it said cheerily. AND IT WAS MY BIRTHDAY.

The balloon punchline makes that story hilarious--despite the stings. ~z

How long before NORAD orders a $500k mission to drop a Baby’s First Birthday Mylar ballon.

Keep Calm and Carry On? Heck No. Stay Excited and Get Outside!
