the children are fascinated by wemby
today we went on a hike to a waterfall and there's a jump to the side of it that's pretty tall and the kids enjoyed jumping into the pool below. On the way back one of the kids was describing the jump relative to Victor Wembanyana's height.
If he jumped off the high jump and went straight down his head wouldn't even go under the water.
I love the idea of this impossibly tall man that's a superstar and defies the limits of what a human being should be able to do. The imagination runs wild thinking of what Wemby would do in the face of any tall height or great distance.
That's all I got. Me being amused by a small child's fascination with an incredibly tall Frenchman.

before camp
Starting my new camp tomorrow. I feel ready. I feel excited. I want it to go well.
I want to remind myself that the reason I care about camps so much is that I've seen and felt how important they are to people and it's a gift and a privilege to be part of that. That's why I want to give it my all.

I think the point of all stories about magical wishes is that they're cautionary tales and that magical wishes are bad.
But surely that can't be true. There must be some good magical wishes.
I guess Fairly Oddparents featured non-bad magical wishes.
I'll say this right now. And I bet you've never thought of this. I bet you haven't taken this step like I have before now.
I vow that if I am ever presented with the opportunity to make a magical wish, I'm not gonna do it.
And everyone will be confused like what? why not? Don't you want to? It's a magic wish. This never happens.
And I'll be like, 'Sorry. I made a vow. On June 5th, 2026. Look it up.'
Just like that, I'm immune to the magic now.
