Camp hasn't begun yet; we've got a week left before the kids arrive. I'm teaching computers again like last year; the differences: this year I have a finished building to work in, a new guy to work with (Matt,) and 10 or so more computers.

Matt and I have spent the last few days networking and setting up the lab machines. They're iMacs, and I think this year OS X is ready for the camp environment, so we're installing that and basically Apple's whole i-suite at the moment...

The lab should be quite a slick operation when we've got everything straightened out, but I've gotta make sure I don't spend too much of my time hidden in here.

I just spent some time reading about last year's summer camp and went through Ireland with you (till 9/11/02.)
Like Thoreau, it seems you "suck all the marrow out" of life and I love the way you transcribe your journeys. You, too, "cut a wide swath" and I look forward to reading more of your archives. Please don't sell yourself short: right after you had poetically described Rodrigo & ? partner's musical performance you apologized for not being able to adequately write a review.
Don't do that.

I appreciate the attention and encouragement, Kate.

I don't suck nearly as much marrow as I'd like; thanks for the reminder to keep trying...
