Details of the week are sparse.  I&#8217;m sure there&#8217;s more information coming from Guantanamo detainees than he&#8217;s going to provide.  But there were mentions of shaving cream wars and the construction of a giant mud slide on a hill which they body surfed down &#8211; which makes me glad his mom is stuck with his laundry.   He was a &#8220;senior&#8221; this year (albeit, a junior senior apparently), and I guess there are advantages to being the BMOC.   Seniors get their own campfire party at which they perform skits.  It sounds a bit like an episode of <a href=\"http:\/\/www2.warnerbros.com\/web\/whoseline\/index.jsp\">Who&#8217;s Line<\/a> for pre-teens, which is right up my budding actor&#8217;s alley.  There was also a mention of a barn dance, but the details on that are sketchy. <\/p>\n<p>By far the most disturbing thing I heard was the lunchtime verbal competition the two boys were having today over the &#8220;exotic&#8221; cuisine they tried at their respective camps.  We&#8217;re not talking chilled monkey brains here or even borscht.   They were standing up chicken tenders dipped in mayo against cheese fries.  I really have to get these guys out more often.<\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\">\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;\">Brought to you by Tim&#8230;<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.timscogitorium.com\/tinblog\/\">-Read the whole blog here-<\/a><\/span><\/h6>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Son Number 2 returned from his summer camp adventure this morning, slightly burned, somewhat itchy, and grinning from ear to<\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\"><a href=\"https:\/\/timscogitorium.com\/tinblog\/2007\/06\/meatballs-part-deux.html\" title=\"Read Meatballs &#8211; Part Deux\">Read more &raquo;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-671","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/timscogitorium.com\/tinblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/671","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/timscogitorium.com\/tinblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/timscogitorium.com\/tinblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/timscogitorium.com\/tinblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/timscogitorium.com\/tinblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=671"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/timscogitorium.com\/tinblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/671\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/timscogitorium.com\/tinblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=671"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/timscogitorium.com\/tinblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=671"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/timscogitorium.com\/tinblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=671"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
