May 2018

I'm getting back to my abnormal self.

For my birthday, I invited myself out for a walk alone down memory lane. I ventured to a spot where my childhood best friend and I used to play, and as a teen my brother and I went to go fishing. It must have been close to 50 years since I was there.

I saw a bald eagle take off from a spot where the older neighborhood kids had their "gang meetings." Dangerous lot, those pre-teen rural hicks were! They called themselves the Swamp Kings.

Looking around, I found 8 artifacts, including a nice diagnostic Perkiomen Broad Point, a type that dates from late archaic through to early woodland. Upon coming home, I had a phone call from my normal brother, and told him about the "Swamp King" site and artifacts.

Our guest from Syria and my daughter prepared a nice salmon evening meal. No wild parties at my age, but talking to these two college activists through the night was a blast.
