Invested

This is not about buying into the program or stock market. This is about the made in China vest issued to us. When we need to be taken seriously or officially, we don the garment and become invested.

The vest has 20 compartments either zippered, velcroed, snapped or not. There may be more compartments, but 20 are all I have discovered and more than enough for me and my LED headband, cell phone, pens, cart keys, other keys, hand sanitizer, napkins in lieu of Kleenex, campground rules, pink reminder citations and found objects. If I receive a phone call when wearing the vest, it is often a struggle to answer the call before it goes to voicemail. Without the vest, I am just some guy in a Rip Curl bush hat with all the gravitas of The Dude.

Maybe I should just wear the official polo shirt donated to me by Gail, the other male camp host, and a great guy.
