Ham Porter: Hey, Smalls, you wanna s’more?
Smalls: Some more of what?
Ham Porter: No, do you wanna s’more?
Smalls: I haven’t had anything yet, so how can I have some more of nothing?
Ham Porter: You’re killing me Smalls! These are s’more’s stuff! Alrite now pay attention. First you take the graham, you stick the chocolate on the graham. Then you roast the ‘mallow. When the ‘mallows flaming… you stick it on the chocolate. Then cover with the other end. Then you scarf. Kind of messy, but good! ……….
The above conversation is from? – Yes, of course, the Sandlot! And it begins tonight’s post in honor of the first – and only – campfire of this entire trip. So we’ll start at the end. We are in Greensboro, North Carolina, and it’s a sweaty 83 degrees right now, at 9 pm. However, we wanted to guarantee at least one bonfire this summer, and this campground may not have much (!), but it has stone fire rings. So we took advantage. Rich made a small fire, and we toasted marshmellows and shared a s’more. Fulfilled.
The blog title is from “The Lazy Song”, by Bruno Mars, and is one of my very favorite songs. I think I’ll begin each class with this song in September – just to “bond” with my clients! The song also describes how I feel today. I don’t know if it’s the heat, but boy, am I exhausted! And yes, Rich Zirin fans, you are sooo right, I have NO reason to be tired, as I didn’t drive a mile! I know, I know. What can I say? We spent six long hours traveling today from Georgia to here. Thankfully, at no time during the journey were we sitting in traffic. However, as everyone in the United States knows, we are in the middle of a heat wave, and it just must have gotten to me. There was nothing interesting on the drive up – no inappropriate spa ads, no dirty bathrooms, nothing. As a matter of fact, when we pulled in to our campground, there was nothing interesting to look at here, either. We did use the pool – it was clean and refreshing. This RV Park had the right location. That was the selling point. Unfortunately, it does not have cable. Again, I recognize that I am a television junkie. I am in withdrawal. Well, ya can’t teach an old dog new tricks. Especially one that’s really old. And who finds herself spending the night in Greensboro.
When we left Georgia this morning, we thanked Talia for her hospitality. We had a great visit in Hot-lanta. And, to make our goodbye all that more special, her “kitty” Booger (who’s gotta weigh 30 pounds!) coughed up a very special furball for us – among other stuff. Gee, thanks. Let’s see…fur- balls from the cat in Georgia, and poopie presents (more than one) from the dog in Florida….I think we’ll keep the trailer as our pet, thanks!
Trivia answer was easy from yesterday – CNN stands for Cable News Network. Pam B. and Melissa F. win. Today’s trivia question: North Carolina is home to the largest private house in the world, with over 250 rooms. What is it called, and exactly where is it located?
Here are some pictures from the beginning of our day. Stay cool.

Did you see American Hebrew Academy, the only pluralistic Jewish boarding high school in the country while in Greensboro? We have put Wheels groups in Greensboro simply for the location too. Though they have a nice Jewish community there. As for the house, it must be the Biltmore in Asheville.
I WISH we had known this! Would have gone to visit. Because, seriously, there was nothing else around. Very cool. Now I know where it is. And, Biltmore is right.
