Besides all the excitement of the CWS, it was also a three fire weekend. Thursday I built a fire just for me and was just relaxing when Schmendrick came out of the house.
Schmendrick: "What are you doing?"
Me: "Burning sticks."
Schmendrick: "Why?"
Me: "Because I can ... pull up a chair."
Schmendrick: "Can't, I'm in a chat room."
a short time passes, maybe two minutes, when Schmedrick grabs a handful of sticks and tosses them on the fire.
Me: "I thought you were in a chat room."
Schmendrick: "Look, I'm a guy, there is a fire, here are some sticks, I can only resist so much."
Saturday night started when I invited Viv over for a grill out and to hear about her trip. She brought Cornstalker. He invited Ben & Maegmariel (who brought marshmallows). Finally Schmendrick came home. There were some fun moments, some not quite G-rated conversation, and as far as any of you know, nothing caught on fire that was not supposed to. We stayed up until about 0130 talking and laughing.
It's not just a guy thing! I'm a pyro too! But I can pretty much cope by burning scented candles. Very feminine.
