The week at camp was still a fantastic start. Hiking, singing, camp skits, and camp sports filled the time as I was able to reconnect with some people that I only see once a year and even meet some new people altogether.
The summer's start was not the only unique difference as I then normally try and get some traveling in whether to family friends in Oregon, camping at Lake of the Springs with family, a trip to Reno with friends, a return to the beaches of Los Angeles, or even going off course somewhere else. This summer; however, I had to stay relatively close as I had the chance to participate in something I had not done since high school. I was in a play! I happened to see a notice about auditions in late May and took a chance and was fortunate enough to get a part in an original play taking the concept of schemes from The Producers and twisting it into one of a failed game show host and his manager starting up a church to raise funds before slipping away. I got to play the nefarious manager. The rest of the cast were all strangers to me, but quickly became friends. All talented, many were even already performing in other plays that I was able to go and see.
So although I made not have had to do as much commuting this summer, nor had the chance to do as much roadtripping, it was an enjoyable, rejuvenating, and memorable on to say the least.
