In Other Parts of the Realm

Today is Becca's first day of summer work: she's a Team Leader at Camp Galilleo (or rather, at one of the many sites of Camp Gallileo). She was up at 6:15 and out the door by 6:55 (okay, should have been a tad earlier, but...first day). She will be leading a new group of first and second graders every week for eight weeks, helping them learn to be "innovators." Since she loves--and is really good with--little kids, and since the approach and goals of the camp really appeal to her (after the training she told us "this is going to be life-changing!") she's very excited. So are we--although Emily is going to miss having her mid-afternoon cuddle companion off hanging with human children instead of one dog-child.

In the meantime, I may take this opportunity, when my work is done, to clean up the chaos that swirls in tiny eddies around my beloved's ankles.
