I'm finally taking the plunge and have applied to the Campfire Usa camps in the Spokane / C'dA area, Camps Dart-lo and Sweyolankan as a camp counselor to work with their special needs children, and "regular" children from ages 6-12.

I'm still pending a little more paperwork, background check, etc. before final acceptance. And in trade for volunteering, each week I work, all three of my boys will get to go as well. So far it looks like I'll sign up for 2-3 YBIC (You Bet I Can - Special Needs) weeks, and 2-3 regular weeks.

I already started training a bit, and get more intensely into the training Wednesday. I'm actually running behind because the training officially started Monday, but because of finals, there is naught I could do. My first session won't be until later in June, or July, so I have time to "train up" as best as possible.

Meanwhile I'll be cranking on preparing MerpCon III and all the books, characters, modules, and much more. Additionally so much house/yard work to catch on. And I'm planning starting to get my RHCT (Red Hat Certified Technician), RHCE (Red Hat Certified Engineer), RHCSS (Red Hat Certified Security Specialist) & RHCA (Red Hat Certified Architect).

Also, since I start Chinese (Mandarin) courses in the Fall, I'm beginning self study on Mandarin on my own in preparation.

AND I will be increasing my training at Kung Fu as an instructor, as well as planning to start offering classes to the Deaf Community. I am also hoping to start a Deaf/ASL Role Playing Gaming Group.

I hope to get in my motorcycle ride to the Oregon/Washington coast in August.

I hope to get around to create my new acoustic set on album for Native American Woodflute, guitar, drums, and keyboard as well.

And to top it all off, I will be trying to take the kids on our own campouts on weeks/weekends when we're not at Camp.

So, definitely not a "lazy Summer".

I am sooo tired. Gee, can't imagine why...
