Damn it's hot! The pretty orange sunset light filtering down through the atmosphere and painting the wall above the desk kind of makes up for it though. Kind of.

The kids at camp who have been working all week to perform their plays saw their efforts come to fruition today. The three plays were brief, but the kids all enjoyed taking part in the experience. Two of them were structured like myths, with one being about why there are white and brown doves and the other being about why the octupus changes colors. The third one was more of a moral lesson about why fighting will get you nowhere. The kid who had been misbehaving all week played a hobo, and actually did a really good job. Of course, before the play he was running wildly after a frightened wild turkey, and after it he was puking on the walkway. Maybe the upset stomach was karmic payback for scaring the turkey. It mellowed him out for awhile at least.

And now for a long weekend. I don't start the next camp until Tuesday. Time to recover from whatever it is that ails me.

Hey. The light on the wall is gone already.
