Well the weekend is over, which means a much quieter campsite. On Saturday night, we experienced our first rain as campers. Luckily we had anticipated it, packed everything in the car, and put the tarp on the tent. Unfortunately, the neighbors weren’t quite as lucky and the next morning they had all their blankets and sheets spread out on picnic tables to dry. I did feel a little bad for them, but you know what they say about karma...
On Saturday night, we decided to do a “team building” exercise and check out the local comedy club. Ben, Michael and I set out for Charlie’s Barfly Saloon and discovered that the act was a hypnotist. I tried to get the boys to volunteer to be hypnotized, but they didn’t bite.
According to the hypnotist, Dan Lee, it is a myth that people with weak minds are easier to hypnotize. In fact, it is the opposite – people that are in control and able to concentrate for long periods of time are the best candidates. Dan was able to hypnotize four of the volunteers and it was hilarious! At one point, he had the volunteers think they had been pulled over and an attractive cop was walking up to the car. They had to think of the best excuse they could to get out of the ticket. When the hypnotist asked one of the girls why she was driving so fast, she responded, “I’m late for a wet t-shirt contest.” Classic.
And congrats to the Spaniards for winning this year’s World Cup! I watched the final game at the Spirit Lake Laundromat, which only added to the drama of the extra period.
