Editor’s note: This post introduces a snazzy new feature to the blog: GimletGalleries! Click on the picture to view more photos of Thing One’s adventures at 11 year-old scout camp. We’re still working out the stylistic bugs, but hope you will enjoy the pictures.

Click to view all images from 11 year-old scout campOn June 30-July 1st, Daddy, my friend Drew, his dad Mike, and I went to Camp Pigott for 11 year-old Boy Scout Camp. We did many things, such as archery, rifling, swimming, putting wood in a position for a fire, and learning how to use knives, saws and axes. It was very fun going to Camp Pigott. I would like to go there again someday. There was a place called the trading post where you could buy things. There were fake rabbit’s feet that daddy wouldn’t buy for me and there were also Darigold frozen malts at the ice cream bar. They were soooooo gooooooood!!! :D (more…)

Dazed and discombobulated

Tuesday, July 4th, 2006 by HML

Notice anything different about us? GimletBlog had planned to be offline from about 24 June through 1 July while our server, StumblingFool, moved last weekend. Unfortunately, the server was a casualty of the move starting 22 June, and it looks like GimletBlog has been completely lost. Rescue efforts are underway but the situation is not looking hopeful. Please bear with us as we put ourselves back together.

7/6 ETA: The format is pretty much back to its former self, plus a few improvements. Photo galleries are on their way, at which time we’ll report on Thing One’s first Boy Scout camp, Thing Two’s first haircut, and the Gimlet’s first steps toward replumbing the house.
