Summer Update

Hello and Shalom! I am writing this brief update of my status at the wonderful camp OSRUI (Olin Sang Ruby Union Institute) located in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin.

Here I am in the service of driving SAG (support and gear) for a daring group. The gang consists of:

15 steely young Jewish bicyclists,
an organized (thankfully!) counselor,
an Israeli bike guru,
and a wild and unorthodoxed Rabbi (who tends to lie on his side like a bald Buddha).

We’re embarking on a rough and tumble ride-and-camp adventure around Lake Michigan.

Through the wonders of Wal-Greens, I have procured an inexpensive camera with free film (as long as I get my prints at a Wal-greens), which I will be digitizing and posting to the web as often as I can. I’m not sure when and/or if I will be able to get near a computer (possibly not til the end of the trip), but I’ll try my best to post a status report or two after this one when able.

Things are exciting, since we are leaving tommorrow morning. I’ve been spending the week getting acquainted with the camp, its staff and campers, and also biking around with the group as they train for the mission. Basically, I’m getting to live the camper’s life and get a paycheck to boot. Sure beats a cubicle job.

So, stay tuned to my RSS feed to see what’s happening on our Tour La’Agam (agam is Hebrew for lake).
