Summer Employment

Summer this year will be a tad busy.  I have committed myself to work at the Salesian Boys and Girls Summer Day Camp from mid-June to mid-August.  What area?  Music and drama.  More importantly, what ages?  Ready?  From three to nine...*sigh*....uh....huh?  It was a recommendation from a co-worker, who's been working there for a long time, that got me this summer gig.  The interview with the summer director was not as stressful as I thought it would be.  She made me feel relaxed and told me all the great things that this club does for the youth.  The best thing is working in a neighborhood that I take for granted, yet it is in my hometown- North Beach.  Walking down Columbus Avenue and Stockton Street was just exhilarating.  The smells, the sounds, the crowds, the ambiance- truly a part of San Francisco I only share with out of towners.  I guess, like anyone, we take neighborhoods in our hometowns for granted.  It will be great to explore this exciting neighborhood.
Now, what to do and teach?  Thank goodness for "Ein mopps komm in die kuche" and Xuxa's incredible version of "It's A Small World."  OK, that's all for today.
