My days at the Baylor Swipe and Fold are over.  The Fantastic
Folder 2004 has officially stepped down.  I have scanned my last
ID.  I have folded my last fitted sheet.  I have checked out
my last racquet.  I am holding back my tears.

Camp was an unexpected blessing.

Spending a week in the
mountains was a welcomed relief from the miserable waco
weather.  I left in a bus to New Mexico with twelve kids I did not
know, and I came home with a dozen close friends.  New
relationships.  Inside jokes.  Shared memories.  It was
incredible. 

I will forever bleed silver.

I work in five hours.

I took two naps yesterday.

Today I played golf in the rain.

This is a post.

A quick update before I leave for camp (in bullet format due to lack of time):

*  I will go out on a limb and say that Napoleon Dynamite is the funniest movie I have seen.  I know it is unavailable in Waco theatres, but get to a real city soon to see it.

*  I will be in Glorietta, New Mexico for the next week.  My little cousin, Lucas, and I will be serving as "sponsors" for children just a little younger than we are.  But I do have a full beard.  That must set me apart.  Right?  Only time can tell of what camp romances await us.

*  There is some truth to Jason's accusations.  Lucas and I have been playing golf in abundance.  At least five, six days a week.  Can you blame us?  Waco, Texas for an entire summer.  No class.  No real job.  No social life.  And we are left to hit the links, day after day.

*  See you in a week.

GEOFFREY'S FUNDAY

That's right.  I met him personally.  An experience that
one cannot forget.  He makes children cry.  He passes out
free comics.  He takes time out to hug and greet his fans. 
He does the Geoffrey Shimmy. 

He is my hero.

Can it be?  The day has FINALLY come. 

Is it REALLY you?  Your nose is so soft.  I love you.

We ALL love you.  Thank you for making this day so special.

That about wraps it up.  A side note:  I know the man
inside the suit.  Very few do.  And I would tell you but to
reveal this person's identity
might crush the dreams of millions of children around the
world.  Thus, I shall not.  But if you do know the true
Geoffrey, give him a call, give him a prop.  He had a long day,
and he needs your love. 

Mosquito Bite Inventory

Right Leg:  21

Left Leg:  14

Right Hand:  4

Left Hand:  0

Right Arm:  7

Left Arm:  5

I can only draw two conclusions from this.  First, mosquitos
tend to favor the right side of my body.  And second, working the
opening shift at the SLC is extremely slow. 

Back to Waco.  Back to work.  I guess that when I informed
my boss that "I would not mind working some in the morning", that was
translated to mean "I would like to open at 6 am most every
morning."  Needless to say, work this morning was vacant, silent,
and so, so early.  So few cards to swipe.  So few towels to
fold.  I found ways to entertain myself i.e. counting
mosquito bites.

...And some fun with timed photography over the holiday weekend.
