Or if I … More Getting ready for Camp
This is camp season and I’m celebrating my few days away from the mountains with unfettered internet access. This means catching up on some local news as well as reading some geek media.

I returned from camp two days ago. The original plan was to spend a few days resting, going to work and basically getting ready to go back to camp. Unfortunately, my little boy has another cold.
