Camp v2
May 27, 2003
Alas, I am over a week late in writing about camp. What is really to say, though, compared with last year? Last year it was all fresh and new, and fully deserving of the five part mega-saga that I wrote. This year, well, this year felt like a lackluster derivative of last year. Whoops, and by last year of course...

All the Cool Kids are Sick
May 20, 2003
Today I am merely ill. Yesterday I was dramatically sick. Probably a parting gift from the kids at camp, it came on strong on Sunday, just as I was getting my voice back. I woke up yesterday feeling just terrible. The snotty nose

OOF

My apologies for no entry yesterday. I was running from the moment the alarm went off till after I collapsed in bed that night getting ready to go to camp today. So there'll be no updates till Monday next. This presents not only an excellent opportunity to come over and loot my house, Baghdad style, but also a great chance...

I Got an "E"
May 12, 2003
Once we started fencing, suddenly everything started happening like some kind of crazy magic was at play. I was only dreaming of maybe winning 3 of my 5 pool rounds (everyone fences everyone in your group of 5 or 6). I would have felt really good about my performance for the evening if I could be winning 60%.

You Are Now a Grownup
May 09, 2003
Did you see the Reuter’s article on growing up? I am so relieved that I am not alone here. Who knows where you get socialized to these expectations, but if you had asked me when I was 18 what my future plans were, they would have mapped out to that article almost identically. Of course, on the Scott-timeline, “no longer...

Meet the Street
May 07, 2003
There are a lot of rules in my life that I do not pay particular attention to: go to the gym every morning, get enough sleep, don’t eat entire party-sized bags of M&Ms, be nice to your brother, clean up after yourself, recycle, save for a rainy day, eat your veggies, and oh so many others just disappear like a...

Food Insurance
May 05, 2003
What the world needs is bad-food insurance. You could pay a couple of hundred bucks a year, and if a restaurant failed to deliver tasty food despite your best and sincere efforts, you can treat it just like you would an auto accident:

New Toy Fun
May 05, 2003
I got a new foil at work on Friday. It was terribly exciting. My first foray into pistol-grip foils. I happily scurried up front when reception called me up and let me know I had a box waiting. I was like a kid on Christmas morning as I ripped the tall box open and pulled out a pair of knickers...

Bloodlines
May 01, 2003
Last Friday, from I know not where, I got interested in blood types and blood type inheritance. It is startlingly simple. Everyone has O sugars, some people also have A or B or both. If they have the extra sugar(s), we call them by that letter. Both A and B are passed along. So if you have an A parent...
