I’d like to get more into camping and hiking but not sure I’m ready to do that with a two year old.

We’ve made it a priority to get outside more this year but it has been mostly limited to trails in the Atlanta area that are stroller accessible.

Believe it or not, hiking with a two year old (just one) is fucking awesome. Get a Kelty or whatever and just go. Seriously, it's AMAZING.

If you get a good carrier pack you can haul them anywhere. Our kids were started on it pretty early and love camping and the 5yo can legit do an 8 mile hike at a reasonable pace. You definitely have to be patient at times, but kids are gonna throw shit fits occasionally regardless of setting, so it helps to have that perspective.

If the 2yo gets irritable, my wife gives her a stick to poke me with. Never fails to buoy her mood for some reason.
 
yeah, those things are good as long as your kid is amenable to chilling in them. baby 1 wouldnt do it for more than about 20 min; baby 2 is pretty content.

we routinely take our 4-5 yr old on hikes; she can do roughly 2 miles with a hill climb before things go off the rails
 
I wore my Apple Watch during relations with the wife last night, and it auto recorded a workout. Unfortunately, it thought I was using and elliptical machine. I don’t know whether my wife or I should be more personally offended by this.
 
Besides the jokes, of which there are plenty, the ad also began to circulate for another reason: as inspiration for fan fiction. Artists on DeviantArt paid visual tribute to it, while—as Gawker pointed out in 2012—fan fiction site Archive of Our Own has a whole section devoted to the “Folgers ‘Home for the Holidays’ commercial.” Along with standard stories imagining drawn-out sexual scenarios between the brother and sister, some writers subbed in other characters in their places, like Cersei and Jaime Lannister from Game of Thrones or Kylo Ren and Rey from Star Wars. This fandom is collectively known as “Folgercest” or “Folgerscest.” The most popular of these works is a nearly 10,000-word, incredibly involved story titled “A Home For All Seasons” in which—spoiler—the brother dies.

I'm assuming you've washed your student's account out of it. He's probably not getting a "GREAT WORKOUT!" note at like 9pm last night or anything.

This is it for me, especially adding in Graveyard Fields - really the whole Art Loeb Trail. Eldest son and I did Black Balsam/Shining Rock/Cold Mountain over Labor day and it was great.

I really like Dupont State Forest as well. Heading there the weekend after the election.

Our office is close for a week each Christmas, so the son and I are looking at potentially doing the Mt. Rogers loop from Massey Gap over 3 days.

They're gonna tell you not to feed the ponies, but everybody feeds the ponies.
 
 
 
Someone help me out here.

How does anyone listen to the JRE Kanye interview and not come away thinking that Kanye is actually retarded?
