I’m going up the country, baby don’t you wanna go
I’m going to some place where I’ve never been before

We can jump in the water, stay drunk all the time …
Well, there wasn’t much drinking going on, us being mostly teetotalers and all, but

Had a great session with Krysty and Nyack towards the end of the summer. Nyack gave me some
great attitude, a nice change-up from the usual sweet kid shots.
