I am a machine that turns food into summer camp.

they discontinued the vegetable marinara rotini in the frozen section
there's something kind of sad about seeing an item that you sometimes buy get discontinued.
oh I guess I wasn't enough support
oh I guess no one else likes this but me
oh I guess the food I thought was good was actually a failure
Ha! Those are feelings I would have if I tied my identity to things I buy at the grocery store. My identity is wrapped up in...a lot of stuff.

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.
