What the heck is a Caminohead anyway? Good question, let’s work on that. Maybe I need to back up and give you a little history of my thinking. Within the last year I heard a quote in Spanish that went, “The Camino is a drug it will hook you.” And that entered my thinking and started roaming around.
Then one day about six months ago, back before Spain, I needed a name for this blog and a few things came together to gel and form Caminoheads. One obviously is the druggy sort of connection. There are potheads and all sorts of heads, so why not … The other component, you are going to laugh at this one, is cheese. There is a brand of string cheese (mozzarella) that we started buying to put in the kids lunches when they were in school. They were these individualied wrapped units just right for snacks. I still buy them and some are in the frig now, I think. Let me look. Yea, there we go, Frigo String Cheese and they are called Cheeseheads!
There is a little Cheesehead guy on the wrapper that looks like he is the more energetic brother of the GoDaddy guy. He’s got a crazy smile and crazy string cheese hair. So the addictive notion of the Camino combined in my right brain with this guy and the result was, well, you guessed it.
I think that we could continue this thread tomorrow. I want to try and hammer out a definition of Caminohead but for now the sun is out and maybe I could get some tractoring in. Thanks for being here. You guys are the bestest, love, Phil.
