Camp begins, for real
Airport madness yesterday, shopping day madness today. Camp is in its beginning throes of not agony, but the general buzz of activity, insanity and wholesome learning. I managed to not lose any of the children's luggage, but there is no doubt in my mind that more of it will be lost than found as the session progresses. The lost treasure of Moctezuma is more likely to be found than some of these kids' belongings.
Finally, and I hope permanently, our staff is complete as planned and we will soon grease the non-existent wheels of the tower into the mean lean kid-entertaining machine that it is.
I have been do my best to be nice to all my friends who are in the occasionally uneviable position of power. This is not only to make their jobs easier but also to build a stash of favors that I will in all likelihood never call in and never need. Also, it's not as if I have anything better to do. Yet. I can only assume that in the few hours that I do not see Sam, he is accumulating as much work as possible for his staff, just so we can shake the tag of satlanoot.
I am going to Cleveland this weekend, for a good friend's wedding and therefore will regale the masses with stories of that upon my return.
I need a new call sign because Assaf is darker than I am.
