That time at the end of the day when we gather around the fire, where they are permitted, we discuss the pressing questions in life. 

If you could pay mini-golf with anyone, dead or alive, who would it be and why

If you were a cactus which one would you be?

If you could pick anyone to be President of the United States, who would you choose?

What is the best book you’ve ever read?

And, of course, what is the best debrief question you can think of?

So now I know that Juan would play golf with Jesus; Mateo would be a sexy Saguaro; Darren would choose Edward Abbey for President; Grandfather, by Tom Brown is the best book Colin has ever read; and, that Arianna really wants to know “why is a duck?”  Even after the longest, hardest day these fireside chats energize and relax us.  Debrief infuses the close of the day with the positive energy of our little community, which keeps us warm long after we’ve left the brilliance of the fire for our sleeping bags
