Seen:

Linda Stratton, news anchor for Fox News, cutting Mike off in the middle of his sentence during last night's interview about Satori. Nobody cuts Mike off! Harrumph!

A multitude of incredible medieval costumes, including jesters, lords, ladies, loads of chainmail, and one nerd.

Counselors bringing HUGE amounts of soda, chips, and other snack items in to Streeter late last night. I think we're in for a heck of a dance this year!

Sharking... and lots of it.

Bob, wearing a rope belt and a beanie with a propeller, enjoying himself immensely at last night's festivities.

Another large floor sign, this one in pink and reading "Chris Is Old Too, Eh?", commemorating Chris' birthday. Yes, Courtney Drake and Grace Chapin (with help from Jeri Kopet) are the "artists" again, and they do know that his birthday was yesterday, but the floor wasn't big enough for both sign.

To the dismay of some and to the delight of others... cheerleaders.

Heard:

A personalized rendition of "American Pie", sung to Mike on his birthday by the talented Steve Porter. That song is one for the Satori history books!

"Grace, you're a little bit stunning at first." said Kaille "Honooko" Kirkham to me (Grace!) in Harold class this morning.

A little bird told me it was Angi Ankrom's 12th birthday today... feel free to sing!

Since TV involves both picture and sound, this seems to fall under both categories. All of the campers at Satori would like to congratulate both Mike and Chris on 1. Becoming old and 2. Very nice news interviews last night.

Ingested:

Some surprisingly yummy medieval food was ingested by all and thrown up by none last night. The menu, including ham, ribs, bread, soup, veggies and Hawaiian Punch (?), was truly one of the best that the lovely cooks have ever prepared for us.
