Gimp and Public Image Camp

Gimp: A fun craft at Public Image Camp.
Dear Phil-
Well, I’ve been here a week, and so far, Public Image Camp has been really swell. We swim every day, I’m learning archery, and how to weave gimp key chains. We just came back from a hike!
Of course, there’s the other stuff too—how to speak in public, what to talk about and how to say it in a way that doesn’t offend anyone. Turns out, even if you are a celebrity, CEO of a billion dollar multi national corporation, or leader of the free world, it doesn’t mean you always do or say the right things at the right time.
Here at camp, we’ve been learning how to survive in a world where verbal and written miscues circle the globe in micro-seconds—and then keep going around again and again. It’s called going viral. And I’m learning that sometimes being one of the top trending topics on Twitter is not a good thing.
I made some new friends. There’s Tiger, Jesse, LeBron, and this other guy, Mel—who frankly is a little scary. There are campers here from all over around the world! My new Japanese friend Akio Toyoda just taught me to say sorry in Japanese. There’s even a guy here from the UK. His name is Tony Hayward—he’s in the bunk below me—Tony is a little chatty—he keeps me up at night.
As the summer rolls along, new campers keep arriving. Recently, a camper with big ears joined my cabin. He’s a nice guy, plays basketball and says “yes we can” to pretty much anything. Well that landed him in a little hot water recently with some folks in New York and everyone’s talking about it—even his pals are saying it’s going to cost them the election—and he should have just stayed out of it. Sometimes, it turns out, saying nothing is the best thing to do. So he’s here now with all of us.
By the way, thanks for the care package. I really enjoyed the Sour Patch Kids!
Warm Regards,
