Joke of the Day…Is On Me

Joke: What do you get when you combine an island off the coast of Maine and bunch of knitting yogis?

Punchline

They want $1,900 per person for this retreat. What if you have your own place to stay courtesy of Chez Mum and you don’t care for the touristy critter dinner? (I’m already getting one of those, complete with bib, in less than a week.) I’m curious to see what they’ll say. I’m also curious to see if it would be worth my while to run away from work during one of the busiest months, to knit and practice yoga in my hometown when I have knowledgeable, fun, beautiful people here who could do the same thing for, I’m guessing, way less.

The joke is on me because I want to do it, just to blend in with the crowd. I want the headline to read, “Local girl gone loco”; to see the community’s bemused faces when they realize I’m not home for the hell of it. They don’t know me as someone who knits, runs, practices yoga, goes on retreats…

  1. You would never blend in with the crowd, any crowd…you are so unique and well, beautifully YOU! But, I understand the desire and intent here.

  2. oh! Thank you!
    With a population of 60 some odd “year rounders” it would be tough not to be recognized, but it would still be fun to try! 😉

  3. I’ve seen that retreat advertised and always laughed to myself, since I always picture you doing those two things for free on your own anyhow out there 🙂
