Colin's [CENSORED]*

Colin has returned to Northfield.

Alex and I did not know he was coming until we saw him walking up the steps. It was most excellent. We sat around for a while in the suddenly much warmer front room, and then borrowed a van and went on what turned out to be an epic adventure to pick up some stranded canoers. The rain came down in sheets as we pounded down many a wrong turn onto dubiously marked dirt roads, harmonizing to Meat Loaf's "I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)" and swerving about so as to throw the seatless and seat-beltless Steers against the van's insides. We returned home, made some surprisingly tasty Indian food before tucking in for a short [CENSORED] nap. Jose showed up at our door as we were starting Raising Arizona, Anne, Issac and Juan showed up after the movie was finished, and we drank all of our beer. Issac and I went to get more. When we came back, I caught a whiff of something suspicious, and was greeted by a giggling Alex, who, barely able to contain himself, held out a handful of prosciutto and declared "Tom Fry, I'm offering you meat."

On the whole, I'd say it was an historic Summer night. One of the best. I was right to miss you all, and still miss most of you. Hurry home; it's party time.
