When it comes to life’s immutable rules,
They are not unlike waffles.
Well howdy folks, and I’m completely freaked out. And you know why. The fringe middle. The silent majority. Why are they so quiet?

Answer: We used “campfire breaks” instead.

How To: Make a s’mores
Believe it or not, pepperoni is popular in some regions
You don’t need a recipe book …
To make a s’mores, or do you?
There’s more to a good s’more than meets the eye
The Cowboy a the Campfire does his best to explain. Common mistakes: burning marshmallows is always a scourge. Then on the other hand sitting too far away doesn’t work either. The trick? Finding just the right distance. And the ingredients matter, too. For example, pepperoni usually isn’t a good match, although regionally it is a delicacy in some parts. S’mores really are less about the taste and more about the memory … and the hope you don’t burn the top of your mouth.
Try not to overthink a song. Go with what pops in your head, run with it, and don’t stop until you cross the finish line.

Bookmark Revival
I know what your thinking …
The day of the bookmark has run its course.
Or is there a bookmark revival underway as we speak?
My philosophy is that every action causes an equal and opposite reaction. Think about it folks, everyone and their uncle (and aunt and grandma) has bought in hook line and sinker to the digital revolution, or more specifically smart phones. And largely we all did it without a thought, not even a second guess, of what we left behind. It was FOMO all he way – i.e. “fear of missing out.” Well, let me introduce you to a new acronymn. It’s called the “fear of what we lost,” or FOWWL for short. Okay, that acronymn isn’t the best, as I do not want to throw chickens or turkeys or geese under the bus. But let’s face it, there’s a return to simplicity under foot. And no vestige of that simpler era is more symbolic of the what we need to reclaim than the bookmark.
Why? For one they help you remember the exact page you left off. And in a completely non digital way.
Mark my words, the bookmark revival is underway!

Why good hair days matter
Uncle & Uncle is in your corner
It’s usually not the big things …
That bother us in life.
Uncle & Uncle understands that …
And has cornered the market as a result.
Little things mean the most when it comes to personal happiness.

Cascade of endings
Endings can often be a let down,
Especially when it ruins the long-running mystery that carried the rest of the book.
That’s maybe what I like most about Final Campfire.
It’s not just one or three or five endings.
It’s a whole cascade starting from the midpoint and never letting up.
Almost like a good river run.
