It was a few years ago at Rocketown’s skateboarding camp where Logan earned his nickname, “Cheeseburger” -- or “Cheese,” for short. That summer, he discovered microwavable cheeseburgers and had one almost everyday for lunch at camp. The name stuck, and as a result, many regulars at Rocketown and Sixth Avenue Skatepark don’t even know his real name. I’ve often had to identify myself as “Cheeseburger’s mom;” then the light of recognition turns on.

I wonder if he’ll acquire a new nickname at sleep-away camp. Although “Cheeseburger” is kind of cute, would it be too much to hope that perhaps this summer he’s known as “Salad” or “Apple?” High cholesterol runs in our family.
