that's what you get for waking up in camp david...

Hey campers. It's already been a few weeks, but I'm still in camp david withdrawal. It's always over in a blink, but it's also always some of the most fun all year. Thanks again Dr Dave for bringing us all together every year!

So the sad news this year was the last-minute cancellations of Nick (clipped wing), Cathy (sweeney todd), and Alok (a piano quartet got the better of him). And Juliana left halfway through (mom's 65th birthday). You were all missed, and rest assured we had copious amounts of margaritas in your honor.

But it was great to have Arlene join us for the first time, and as always, there were hours of fun playing, eating, drinking, riding the freakycycle, and doing everything else in our power to wake up the neighbors.

I am sorry to be behind in posting the photos this year, but finally, here is the slideshow for 2009. Grab a tall glass, sit back and enjoy - it's about 10 minutes long, and uses two of the songs that were featured over the weekend.

If you would like copies of any of the images, I uploaded them all to my picasa web album --

Thanks again Dave for giving us this annual slice of paradise, Juliana for co-organizing, Michael for feeding us once again, and John and Kathe for keeping us well oiled and making sure there were only happy moments. Love you guys.
