As for science camp, I would have probably been happier there than at my sports-all-day camp, but like Rumi almost sorta says: out beyond the fields of art and science there is a field—and that's where I lost both my keys and my contact lens.

I did that same experiment at a suburban science camp one summer in my youth. (What I was doing at a science camp, I'm not so sure.) Like Riff-Raff, I used a Maxwell House can, but I padded mine with Styrofoam and ended up with a scrambled mess. Wish I too had thought of the concrete. I love it!
