Camp Dispatch

Just finished the camp talent show for the first of my four weeks at summer language camps. One of my kids just burped the alphabet. Well done!




Also, need to give a quick update on my summer wear. After spending the better part of the school year dressed in smart, sensible, and marginally fashionable threads, I have slouched into what my friend calls "the Summer Uniform." This consists of, from the ground up, flip-flop sandals, camo shorts, football (soccer) jerseys (with the inevitable Eric Cantona popped collar), aviator sunglasses and a sunburn. There exists a certain level of freedom when you are so removed from society (as I am on these language camps) that you care not what you wear, as long as it keeps the heat away. I must say, however, that wearing football jerseys everyday is pretty much the coolest thing in the world to my 12 kids. Two points to me.
