Lessons from 1st & 2nd Grade Church Camp

Well, I survived three days of 1st and 2nd grade church camp in Bethany, MO (June 7-9).

Being with my son as his counselor was pretty sweet. I was a proud dad — the whole time.

Here’s a few things I learned.

  • If you sleep in the air-conditioning with a wet beach towel instead of your sleeping bag, you will get cold at night.
  • I don’t care if it’s uncool to do all of the crazy actions to the camp songs. You should have seen me getting down on the “Drive the Bus” song. Some of the actions are in the Evolution of Dance video I posted earlier.
  • Yes, 1st and 2nd graders can have a serious discussion about where God came from. However, they may not want your input or like your answers.
  • Kids can actually have too much sugar.
  • Some kids are under too much pressure and responsibility at home. It was really sad hearing about the burdens some of the kids were carrying around.
  • The kids with the biggest mouths are sometimes the biggest wusses.
  • If the boys only knew that someday they might actually like girls, they wouldn’t be so dead-set on getting them back based on some rumor. It was boggling how rumors spread like wildfire and how many clandestine plots were hatched to exact revenge on the girls.

Spriglet #6: Zipper check

Here’s another installment in my Spriglet series.

Nothing’s more embarrassing than emerging from the bathroom with your zipper down.  To combat this possibility, I always, just after opening the bathroom door, poke my finger inside the zipper flap directly under the button of my pants. If my finger goes in, I turn right around and take care of it. If it stops, I let out a sigh of relief and continue on to what I was doing before nature called my name.

Joakim Noah: Too cool for the Bucks

Nice quip by Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel columnist Michael Hunt:

And who is Joakim Noah to turn down a workout with the Bucks? That’s some arrogance, even if the Bucks aren’t his preferred destination. If I’m Harris, I don’t want him, anyway. He’s not strong enough for their needs. They’ve already got one Gadzuric on the roster.

Guess my nightmare scenario might not happen after all.

DP:Catching up with Scott Wedman

Stumbled on this article about Scott Wedman, who used to be my landlord before we bought our first house 5 years ago.

I have his autograph. It’s on a lease agreement. Hehe.

Safari 3 Beta now available for…Windows?

Oooh, is Apple throwing it’s hat in the Windows browser ring?

Hmmmph.

As for making a serious run at Firefox, let’s cue MC Hammer. You know the song.
