Quote

"Furthermore, we have not even to risk the adventure alone, for the heroes of all time have gone before us. The labyrinth is thoroughly known; we have only to follow the thread of the hero path. And where we we had thought to find an abomination, we shall find a god; where we had thought to slay another, we shall slay ourselves; where we had thought to travel outward, we shall come to the center of our own existence; and where we had thought to be alone, we shall be with all the world."
- Joseph Campbell, "A Hero with a Thousand Faces"

Fourth of July in Maine?

Yes everyone, I am still alive. We have limited internet here. Either there is no time to use it or it is really slow and crappy. I happen to be using the staff computer when only two other people are in the staff room so network problems are nil! (woot) Anyway, I do not have a long time to write. I go back to work in twenty minutes and there are other things I have to do.

Camp has been fine. It is getting better actually. I do regret that it is a "rich kids' camp" and they do not appreciate the nature surrounding them. They call this camping, but they are allowed to bring ipods and decorate their area of the cabin. You should have seen the bags they pack You could fit two human bodies in one and some kids brought two to three. They had them shipped of course (imagines children dragging four dead bodies behind them). But that doesn't matter.

Tomorrow is July 4th and also my first day off since the kids arrived. I am definitely going into Portland or Augusta or just ANYWHERE that is not camp. I will return for the fireworks at camp in the evening, though. I make camp sound horrible. It really isn't. However, I do spend more time with the horses than with the kids and I do not sleep in the campers' cabins like most other counselors. Yeah, I definitely have the better deal.

That is all for now. Anyone can call or text me any time and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

'Til next time...
