Halfway thru the Spring Session

Westwind. Outdoor School. I think our spirits have been bruised after last week's debacle with thug counselors and emotional over-investment. Oh, and the whole calling-the-sheriff incident didn't help either. So we've moved on to this week, where we have an overall great pool of counselors, students who are excited and not too rowdy or rude, and some rain to dampen the mood a little bit. But we're burnt. Slow. Draggin'. Overall morale is sinking like a piece of driftwood picked up by the high tides. And I'm not sure how to turn it all around. We'll push thru this week, and hopefully all get recharged for the next. In the meantime, Kayak, Xena, Cowpie, and I went out to the cave yesterday during a rather low tide. I took a few pictures...
