If you’re me, yesterday was the last day of summer vacation: the few days between the end of school and the beginning of summer camp that always seems to pass too quickly.

Today’s the first day of summer camp at our local community center, and yours truly will be presiding. The kids call me “Mr. Mike,” or sometimes “Dr. Who.” Mostly I’m some actor they can’t name, or someone that reminds them of Bill Nye.

Please, kids. It’s the Bill Nye of Poly Sci, and don’t you forget it. Now let’s see if we can all keep our phones away long enough to remember we’re on vacation.
