So…my good Israeli friend asks me if I’m going back to work at summer camp this coming summer. We made a pact, if one of us goes, the other goes too. Last summer, we both bonded, became best friends, and had 100′s of ideas for how to improve the camp, make it more rugged, outdoorsy, adventury, educational. Now, the time has come, do we want to work to improve the camp as we see it needs improving, or, move on to other adventures in our lives.
The directors met w/ my friend in Israel, and are trying to convince him to come back. Like myself, he went from not even considering it, to still preferring to do something else, but now considering it. He asked my advice and said, “before making any big decision, have a beer.”
Well…I’m sipping back a Copper Ale, described as a medium-bodied amber ale, and I’ve decided, no camp this year. Although it’s a guaranteed 2months of fun, and meeting amazing people from all over the world, there’s other things driving us. My friend may be working in South Africa, and I expect to have several possible work opportunities w/ Outward Bound. So, onward to the future.
Also…saw Meet the Faulkers today. Laughed my heart out. Go see the damn movie ok, and put on a smily face and laugh, because I said so.
Ok…off to the ESPN Zone, to bring some people their food, so they can give me money, so I can buy myself food, alcohol, and put some cash away to travel next year!!!
holla at your boy!!!

good deal…
ryc: I think Americans need to begin to accept responsibility for what we actually do, not for the words we mouth. We can’t promote freedom when it is our very absorbtion of the resources of the globe that keep the bulk of the human population in poverty. When it is our military spending the props up authoritarian regimes globally. When it is our foreign policy that creates the world’s most vicious regimes, from Chile (Pinochet) to Iraq (Saddam). Yes indeed, individual nations are far worse for individuals, but we probably do more damage than any nation since the Germans and Japanese of the 1940s. Is it somehow less terrible because we “don’t mean it”?
