What is insanity?

Albert Einstein tells us the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

Well since returning from a last minute camping trip with Orion and Cassi, during one of the busiest holidays/weekends for outdoor enthusiasts, archery season, wanna be jeep and quad drivers from out of state, I started to question the definition. So I picked up the phone and set up a meeting with Mr. Einstein (Brad).

As we made our way through small talk about quantum physics and particle theory, drinking our Dirty Hippy Frappuccino’s, I asked Big A (we are tight), am I insane for what I did this weekend? I mean I have camped solo with my 2 and 4 year old before. Frazzled, tired, no sleep, mud, hunger, and cold…..Albert leaned in to me and said John you know what I see? Adventures, lifetime memories, creative minds being encouraged, comfort in the outdoors, learning about bugs, rocks and bird sounds. Wiping Frappuccino off his white mustache, Big A leaned in and said, John, yes you are insane and you know what, as a daddy or a theoretical theorist we have to be a little insane to stay sane. So keep doing it.

After a bro hug and a knuckle punch, Albert departed with wisdom bestowed and…huh, wait who is paying for the frappucino bill????
