Day 1137: Jon Stewart

Nooooooooo!  Jon Stewart is leaving the Daily Show!  His cutting wit, incisive reporting and fearless interrogations of right wing nut jobs have endeared him to us and millions.  I particularly love when he shreds duplicitous politicians.  What a terrible loss.  He's been the conscience of this country.  Seeing his show back in 2012 was one of our most unforgettable experiences in NYC.  Hopefully, he's moving on to other great opportunities.  He's devoted seventeen years to this classy operation and he deserves to have dinner with his family.

Great class in Brocton!  We have two great new campers and four terrific student leaders.  Today our discussion focused on expedition behavior and they were so thoughtful and engaged.  Chris, who struggled through the hikes last year,  stopped by to visit.  He's the one who had the asthma attack at the end of the two day hike.  Such a sweet, determined kid.  My practical side says we should let Brocton go because we have so few kids participating.  But, I always fall for them immediately and then can't imagine letting go.

I finished up chapter 17!   I put Atlantis to bed and tomorrow, I'll move on to the early history of Quest.  The Servatius era.
