dirt and stink

Not only did I not shower for my entire camping trip, my nephew was crawling around in the dirt about 12 hours each day. By the end of Saturday I had come up with a new nickname for him, based on his filth beard: Dirt VanDyke.

I'd forgotten how liberating it is to just say no to showers. I mean, you're going to smell like smoke again about 15 seconds after you get back to your campsite, right? On the downside, my nephew said at one point, "What's that smell--your armpits?"
