Unlucky Campers

My husband and I are unlucky campers. Not because something bad happened while we were in the wilderness...nay because we haven't been able to go camping at all. Now this would be all more bearable...even actually forgotten...if we hadn't bought great Coleman camping gear 2 years ago.

Now it just sits in the back of our sofa....unloved and ashamed. Like a dirty little love child we had when we lost ourselves in the passion. No, Coleman tents - its not your fault. You're okay. Its us. We just don't have the time to go sleep in you.

Even more worse: we live in the great, big wilderness of the Midwest. Well at least right next to it at least. We have Indiana and Michigan's forests, Illinois' national parks and the lakes of Wisconsin. Yet, we won't budge.

Here is an article from the NYtimes that triggered this pang of regrets....before reading it I was blissfully 'forgotten':
