Another busy and successful day of camp. Kids and staff are spending a lot of time up on skies. I’m doing my best to help keep things smooth. One of the good things of camp is not only getting to know a lot of great people, but also getting to see those you know in … More Day 2
Once more I am off on another camp adventure. It’ll be a little like returning home after spending four weeks at the site over the summer. Since this is a shorter camp with much smaller numbers it will also have a very different feel. I’m hoping it will pack the same fun punch but will … More 3 Days in the Mountains
This has been my longest absence from this site in some time. At least since December 2015. I feel a little guilty about that. Well, not quite guilty but rather that I am not trying hard enough. Sure I’m spending five out of every eight days in the mountains and those days are spent trying … More One More Week
This is the last of my three days of rest before camp starts again. It started around 6:30am with my son letting me know he was ready to wake up and play. By 7:00am we were singing and clapping in the living room while trying to keep it quiet so the Mrs. could sleep. I … More Coffee Break before Camp
The first of the summer’s camp sessions are behind me. I’m not as exhausted as I expected I would be, but a, still pretty beat. Camp means long days. My shortest workday was 7am to 10:30pm. But work includes things like kayaking, hiking, swimming, and throwing kids into a like. Certainly beats wearing a tie … More My Camp Session 1: Done
Like most people out there I’m pretty obsessed with the Hamilton soundtrack. Okay, maybe obsessed is the wrong word but it has quickly become my go to album to listen to if I don’t know what I want to listen to. Or if I need that little extra energy music can give. Or if I … More Getting ready for Camp
We are getting closer to the summer and that means camp. For the past two years I’ve been working in a summer camp here in Japan. It is a great way to get back to nature (in a very conservative parent kind of way). I really love working at these camps. Its a way to … More Summer in the Mountains
My Goodreads giveaway ends in a few days. So far there are over 400 people who have entered to win one of 25 books. I guess that shows the power of free. I really do hope this results in a few more reviews. Right now that is my main goal for this year. Getting that … More Another Shipment
You might have noticed that things are a little light this week over here. I haven’t been reviewing and/or writing as much as usual. There are two reasons for that. One is of course the release of the book. Even though I thought I had everything arranged for its release, the actual putting it out … More Spring Snow Camp
