Toast Takes a Vacation

As some of you know, I went vacationing last week! It was a very good trip, and I even got to see some fellow Colby Alums. The following is a little journal of my adventures
Part 1 - Sugarloaf:
Fred Bailey and I met Nick Kline at Sugarloaf and we spent a night at Nick's Condo. After Freddy and I arrived, we decided to head down to the local watering hole (The Rack), where we met some nice young lasses. We proceeded to woo said lasses, and I ended up getting to second base with a blond from Sweden. That's right, a blond Swedish girl...From Sweden! It was a ridiculous night, but after a couple months in the bachelorette free hole that is Madawaska, it was acceptable behavior. The next day, we climbed Burnt Mountain. It was less windy and rainy than the last time I climbed it with Sweencock, Liza and Ian London.
Part 2 - Portland (Round 1):
I spent a total of three nights in Portland (two at the start of the trip, one at the end). This is the first two. Nick Kline and I came back to Portland, and Freddy went home. I spent a couple days with Nick and John Swain having fun in Portland. We went to a beach and drank Bubble Tea and I bought an old wooden chest for a coffee table. I didn't realize it would be so hard to eat cereal and watch Sports Center without a coffee table, so I figured I should get one. I like it.
Part 3 - The Cape:
The next leg of my journey took me to Chatham to spend some time with family. My grandparents and my aunt and her family were taking a vacation on the Cape, so I spent five days with them. We stayed at a nice little place right on the beach, and the weather was perfect. Jess Coliflores, the COOT leader turned hotel mogul came to visit for a day, which was fun. My grandparents still seem to love me. My Aunt and Uncle seem to like me as well. My three cousins think I'm a god. They are ages 7, 5 and .33 years old. It's easy to make people that age think you are cool. The Cape is a nice place. It's too crowded, but the beaches are fun.
Part 4 - Portland Revisited:
This trip to Portland involved Jake Franklin (I'm glad I got to see you before you get deported from China mister), Aditya, Dave, Sweeney, Genni Debuque, Meg Distinty, Charlie (not Eichacker) and Rachel, and others. We had a BBQ, got drunk and went to a couple bars...I think. At least one bar. Anyway, it was good to be shitfaced again. I especially liked the tommy gun full of tequila. good times.

I'm back in MadTown now, and I'm working like a little champion. I'm booking plane tickets for an International Biathlon Union coaches conference in Sweden. Somehow I get to go to for free. I'm pretty pumped about that. It's in October, so if any of you are in Scandinavia around then... Sweeney?

That's all for now. Stay in touch. Sam, can I come to the beach in April maybe?

Love,
Toast
