I listen to Tony Kornheiser's podcast, when he does one, about three times a week. He attended summer camp in Wayne County as a kid. From the e-mails Mr. Tony receives, a lot of people, many famous, did the same thing, and also in Wayne County. It appears to be the summer camp capital of the world.
Me? No. Never. Zero desire. I was happy riding my bike around the neighborhood when I was kid. Back yard wiffle ball games. Walking to the corner store for a can of soda and a bag of potato chips. Watching Match Game.
A close friend had a yearly camp experience. The neighborhood wasn't the same while he was away. By the way, he hated it.
Rush Limbaugh used to tell a story about his one and only camp experience. I don't know where it was. There was one unforgettable line in Limbaugh's story: "All I could think about was how much I didn't want to be there."
I'm sure camp is a wonderful thing, but it's not for everyone, and Kornheiser has some very nice things to say about his summers in Wayne County.
