a co-ed sleep-away camp in Phoenicia, N.Y., has started employing “friendship coaches” to work with campers to help every child become friends with everyone else.
Jesus christ. There are so many reasons I couldn't work in elementary schools or camps like this.
Jessica, that is hysterical! Also, tomato soup!?!?!
Apparently Thomas Dekker is going to play Lance Loud in a tv show that fictionalizes The American Family: [link]
Also "Once In Love With Amy," but I think only old people know that one anymore.
Ply her with bon-bons, poetry, and flowers. Moon a million hours away....
I love that song. I have versions of it by Ray Bolger (from the musical "Charley's Aunt", I think) as well as Barry Manilow and Mel Torme.
Have people been following the story of the South Carolina Senate race, with the mystery candidate?
I certainly have--very VERY freaky. My first real love (who was my most-serious high school boyfriend) is campaign manager for his opponent. He is quoted in Time as a "silver-haired beltway pro," which I just told him on FB made him sound like an aging gigolo.
Also, tomato soup!?!?!
I KNOW!!! Canned tomatoes, sure, but tomato SOUP?

I hope they include his later punk rock career with The Mumps.
Also, tomato soup!?!?!
Because tomato *sauce* isn't available in processed and packaged form.
Oh, wait.
Lasagna is like politics, everybody gets an opinion... Everybody’s right, nobody’s wrong.
THIS, my friends, is what's wrong with America today.
Okay, so, I'm way behind on my US news, but.... what the hell is going on with a Mystery Candidate?
I remember from childhood that I did not warm to kids my parents made me associate with, as opposed to ones I chose to hang out with on my own. Frankly, I'd have rather spent time reading or playing by myself than be forced to waste time with them. I can see merit in having counselors try to get shy or antisocial kids to interact more with their peers, but discouraging close friendships seems insane to me.
