Father's Day Update

Camille's father is now a licensed ham operator, has just purchased some radio equipment, has started going to search and rescue sites on the internet, and can already read code at 5 words per minute. He watches only ESPN and OLN, and has just harvested his first homegrown tomato, which she refused to eat when she found out he had put fertilizer on it.

Some of her friends' fathers are also subject to extensive text messaging within the sophomore subculture, but it is no coincidence that Camille's attitude toward her father has greatly improved at the same time as all of the happenings. Camille has no idea what Morse code is ("Why not just call their cell?"), but she is certain that no one else's father does anything half as wierd. Accordingly, her status of possessing the worst father at Cypress Fairbanks High School is secure. This is no mean accomplishment, given the large FFA club at that school. To be simultaneously on the brigade squad and have the worst father at school will undoubtedly earn her a full-page spread in next year's yearbook. She is very proud of her father's accomplishment.
