It looks like Tom will be able to go to camp and do his activities, with some difficulties the first couple of days. They don’t have to set up tents or cook! He won’t be able to paddle a kayak at first, but hopefully by mid-week it will be possible.

Excellent!
Tell him not to overdo it.
(Like I did.)

I saw a vending machine that says "This machine will not accept Canadian Curreny".

Which got me thinking... what the devil is curreny?

"He won’t be able to paddle a kayak at first, but hopefully by mid-week it will be possible."

I was watching one of those instructional survival shows on cable a few weeks or months ago, (not what they call "Reality Shows", which are all about politics, instead of useful skills and abilities).

I'm talking about survival!, like when your bush plane crashes in a snowy wilderness and you have to find or make shelter and get food, or die. That kind of survival.

Anyway, just to make it "interesting", as they say on the golf course, the host decided to pretend that his arm was injured. So he put his arm into a sling and tried to to everything one-handed. Just to make it interesting, see?

I thought it was stupid, because he knew, and he knew we knew, that it wasn't really injured.

Just show us what we need to know to survive. If our arm gets banged up before we start our trial, we'll know what to do about it, m'kay?

Anyway, as I was saying before I got interrupted, Tom may get even more out of this episode than he had thought he might, because he'll have to do what he has to do while favoring a bum wing. That should make it "interesting".
