AJ is having a marvelous time at Cub Scout camp this week. Yesterday he played cricket, which he totally dug, “Can you believe they pitch underhand?” He explained it to me twice and still I dont’ get it. But I’m glad he likes it. Today they played soccer and did archery and “learned about nature. “What kind of nature?” “About habitats and stuff.” And they made some object that he doesn’t know what to call but it’s made out of a sock and some feathers and something a little heavy and it looks a bit like a beanbag crossed with a badminton birdie. It is, apparently, some kind of Native American game. You can play catch with it or try to toss it through a hoop. Mostly, though, it just lies around the floor looking like something that Mrs. Stein failed to kill entirely.
I have been enjoying the time to work. He is gone from 8:15 to 3:30. I have one more day of it and then I have to take my turn as a camp aid. I will be exhausted and need beer afterwards.
Tomorrow I will finally get my haircut. I have been putting it off, as usual. But it is now affecting my visibility and the back is starting to veer into mullet territory, so I must put a stop to it. However, I have no idea what the solution is. Any suggestions internet? Otherwise I will have to leave it to my hairdresser. And since I’ve only been to her once before, I have no idea if she is up to the task.
I am hoping to have the time, while in the hairdresser’s chair, to contemplate a job application. It’s a job that I’ve never done before, but is of great interest to me and the pay is surprisingly good. But I suspect there will be more qualified applicants. I will need to sell my assets well. We shall see.
And now I am off to put the finishing touches on a new playlist for water aerobics tomorrow. They have requested some Michael Jackson and I aim to deliver. If anyone shows up, that is. Today’s high was only around 65, so there’s a good chance I’ll have a bunch of no shows at the pool in the morning. It’s been that kind of summer.

I finally found a hairdresser who has fine straight hair like mine and I will follow her to the ends of the earth. And she’s cheap.
My hair is now jaw length, but longer in the front than in the back. The back is layered up and it makes it seem so thick. I can see it working on you. Look at our Picasa albums- only one I can locate of me (I guess I usually hold the camera)is from Christmas.

It seems like just last week you were describing hellish Illinois armpit weather, and now your highs are 65?? amazing. Good luck with the haircut. I keep putting my trust in a hairdresser and she does well by me about half the time. I really like the style that Jill has described.
