A friend of mine recently posted the following Facebook status:

“My husband just said gaycare instead of daycare and now I WANT NOTHING MORE THAN TO GO TO GAYCARE. It sounds like a truly magical place.”

I don’t know a thing about gaycare but I can confirm that gay camp is its own special breed of magic. I’m off to gay camp in Croatia for the next week. Specifically, gay camp on a sailboat!!!

I’ll be sailing with 7 strangers and 3 crew from Split to Dubrovnik, stopping at a different island every day. I have no idea how this will go but I’m determined to have a great time!

Of course, getting ready for gay camp requires a change of mindset and alternative planning:

• No more time for introspection or deep commentary. Time for CAMP mindset. Not just summer camp mindset, but CAMP mindset.
• The colors get more vibrant.
• The shorts get shorter.
• The swimwear…I won’t be wearing board shorts this week, I can tell you that.
• I have to go buy a wig before I get on the boat.

Apparently the boat has wifi, but I’ll believe that when I see it. So if you don’t see posts from me in the next week, you’ll know why!

OK off to have a gay old time.

And there are some pics from gay camp that you’re just not going to ever see. Love you but no.
