Definitely No Camp: 2010
[Mentat asked if I'd be gong to camp this year of 2010. I responded as follows:]
Dear [Mentat],
Well, [Jack] is skipping out this year to conserve money for the foot parties. Further, I think he’s disenchanted with camp, like me. They’ve cut out so much since I resumed attending in 1995, that there are very few activities available anymore that I enjoy. They don’t do the ten- or twenty-mile hikes anymore, and this year, they’ve shortened the sessions by a day (to ten days, down from eleven), and omitted a session besides. This means that our session will likely be very crowded, and with the faulty PA system there, I don’t relish the dining room noise at mealtimes when so many campers attend. It’s hard to hear announcements about the activities.
So nope. I’m not going this year.
