Sleeping in the Snow with Bears


Marie Antoinette liked to dress up like a milk-maid all breasts and bodices and buckets to spend a day at the royal country estate and pretend to milk cows that had been perfumed and powdered for her (and presumably debriefed afterward) and frolic with the happy, dancing peasants.
In what we hope is not the same hapless spirit (when the Revolution really heated up, the French queen fled to that same country estate, where she was caught by now scowling peasants, and sent back to Paris to face the music.), Brian and I will spend the week-end at Survival 101 training camp in a southern Virginia town called (and if this doesn't raise suspicions, I don't know what will), Pleasant Valley. My friend, Katy, knitting and jollying away at kamsarmer.blogspot.com would say, "Don't do it! It's a trap!"
