This year's two week band camp trip was even more exciting than last year's, and there are several posts about it comin' atcha. Highlights will include the 2nd Annual Staff/Faculty Karaoke Extravaganza, adventures in geocaching, and the Milk Carton Boat Race, and I have lots of fun pictures and videos to illustrate the glory of all three. I also went to Trek in the Park yesterday, so that post is coming soon as well.

In the meantime, fun facts about this year at camp:

• I met an awesome Afro-Cuban drummer who's convinced me that I need to join his band and play salsa, so my old roommate Ben is going to teach me.
• Geocaching is my new favorite hobby.
  
• I am now thoroughly convinced that if we all lived in tribal societies of fewer than 150 people life would be ducky.
  
• When I'm swimmingly happy and inspired I can sleep for four hours a night and still feel glorious.
• Avoiding computers and televisions leaves me happier and more well-adjusted.
• I have somehow miraculously stopped feeling at all competitive over the last few months (but it's still fun to pretend that I care about winning things to rile up the campers).
• I hate mosquitoes, but they love me. One even loved my freaking face, and now I'm spending every waking moment trying not to scratch my right cheek.
  

So now I'm home, and aside from the facts that I wish I could live at camp year round and that my cheek-and-legs-and-feet are itchy, I'm totally blissful. Lots of fun things to come, too, so here's hoping I can continue to moderate my technology time while still keeping up on the blog!
