If Camp is like Having Wonderful Time, Sign Me Up - NEEDS UPDATING

After an especially busy June, I'm going on vacation for a couple of weeks and I plan to do nothing but laze, play with my dog, read, finish my first round of edits on my upcoming novel, and watch TCM.

But there's one Ginger Rogers movie I keep coming back to when I think about vacations: Having Wonderful Time. It's all about a young professional woman who lives in a cramped apartment in New York City and works at the steno pool at work. She just wants a break from the hustle and bustle and decides to go to Camp Kare-Free out in the country for some rest and relaxation. 

"Camp Kare-Free, where one can associate with a select number of cultured and sports-loving ladies and gentlemen."

I've only been to camp twice in my life, a bible camp that I put up with because it meant I got to go horseback riding, but if camp for adults is like Camp Kare-Free, sign me up! 

Here's why I'd be great at Camp Kare-Free: 

  1. I'm great at backgammon.

    I can Color of Money my way across a backgammon board, let me tell you. 

  2. I love a good theme shirt.


    I would wear a Camp Kare-Free sweater with gusto. Or Camp Caribou, for my fellow Canadians of a certain age... 

  3. I can pack lightly.


    Mom, if you're reading this, I can, I just don't!

  4. Camp friends are fun friends


    You're strangers, then you're as close as anyone in the world for a week or so, and then you're back to strangers but now you have a funny story to tell people. What could be better!

  5. I'd be happy to meet any law students putting their way through school
