Jib Ho!


Olivia and a few of her pals started sailing camp this week. As her counselor put it "this is experienced based learning" which basically means there are about 50 youngsters with zero experience sailing around on the Potomac with teens as their faithful leaders running into each other, capsizing etc. They are having a blast and I must admit it is pretty funny to listen in on the carpool talk. Of course my little dolphin Olivia loves it and now spends her nights online with Dad picking out our new family sailboat. She has renewed her plea for orders to Hawaii (anyone listening in Memphis?) and has her sights set high on being one of those oh so cool teens doing the bossing around in a few years.
Didn't we "get" to spend our summers riding bikes around the neighborhood in the oppressive heat because we weren't allowed to play in the house? Hmmm.
