Patriot Camp

No, not the Patriots.  Just the local high schools that make up the Patriot League.  But the 8th grade team was invited too.  Caz was actually fired up to go from Day 1.  I thought for sure he'd be hesitant.  But Demi said he had his equipment ready a half hour early, in plenty of time to catch his ride.  The boys went at it for 3 hours in the humid air.  He still had a positive attitude at the end.  At the end of camp, on the last day, he actually uttered the word "fun" in relation to camp.  That is the equivalent of a full scale celebration with fireworks for the Lizard King.
     That is great news for me.  This being his last year in the program, I want him to go out well.  He talked about playing high school football last year.  I hope that continues through this year.  Camp was sort of voluntarily mandatory for his team.  Usually when he is told to do anything, the Lizard King's first instinct is to rebel.  But I am happy this seemed to be a success.  It turned out to be a great first step towards the season.
