I actually wasn’t going to write the story of what I hope is our worst summer camp experience ever. This time I was going to take the high road. The blogless road. The boring road. I would simply e-mail the camp’s director with a well-thought out, reasonable list of the problems I saw with the […]

I still remember how happy they seemed together, how cohesive, sitting at that first soccer practice with their son and daughter nestled in between them.
