Somehow I managed to completely avoid the topic of solo in the previous days, but believe me, the prep was there. And thus, the next days (61, 62, and 63) were Solo. I could transcribe my Solo journal, but I feel that might take away from the 'sanctity' of Solo, if you'll allow me to use that word. Let's just agree that Solo happened, as evidenced by these wavy lines. I believe today to be Friday, April 23, 2010.

Day 64 (written day 65)

Woke up early today, packed all my stuff, looked for my simmer lid all around one last time. I looked where I put my oven so the rain would clean it, and instead lifted a striped maple off of several young beeches. I turned around and found my simmer lid at my feet. I waited for the people on my line with two swords and a bandana made out of my flag. Everyone arrived, we walked back, greetings were done, and we put all our stuff away at TMS. The lunch menu was first a joke- ramen soup, bagels, and fig newtons- but eventually they served pulled meat sandwiches and leftover mac and cheese.

The rest of the day was playing guitar and EPIC WATER FIGHTS OH MAN FREE FOR ALL ON THE POND LAWN AND AMBUSHING DERBY BASKETBALL. Dinner was pork chops and other things, and after we practiced Wagon Wheel to perform at the bonfire. We performed it, and Hallie, Kemi, David, Steph, and a few other Underwood people, perhaps Kyra, asked me to be the customer in their 'mystery haircut' song. Zoe J and Megan B were there. It was a great bonfire- Rosii, Sarah, Phoebe, Hallie, Aidan, Jimmy, Sam S, Adrija and I bonded. We started to watch Inglourious Basterds. I slept in a bed.
