Failure to Launch (But Not to Lunch)

When the morning's block-walking efforts up in Wells Branch were stymied by a surprise lack of lit, stranding us in the home of host Jimmy Talarico and his family until help or pizza could arrive, the plucky interns of Campaign Academy knew exactly what to do.

"Right hand red!"

"Wait, is that everybody's hand or just my hand?"

"I'd love to see this game played with a group of yoga instructors ..."

Twister was preceded by an exceedingly democratic game of Catch Phrase: Instead of creating needless division by picking teams (boys against girls, every other person, everyone against Lorenzo), we passed around the little electronic timer and focused on the sheer joy of guessing. Afterwards, we caught The Breakfast Club on TV while lunching on Mexican Ole pizza, broadening this intern's horizons with the revelation that people actually make and serve Mexican Ole pizza.

Then Grant showed up with the flyers and we hit the streets, but not before I swore to start dying my hair red and serving excessive Saturday detention sentences.
