My son's 6th grade class spent 3 days at a winter (sleepaway!) camp two weeks
ago and we were discussing all the activities they did.  One thing they did
after every meal was to weigh the "orts" and their class did the best of any
in the history of the camp in reducing their orts by the end of their time
there.  When he was telling me about it I mentioned how orts is a term for
leftover bits of thread and yarn.  I think I first read about it in a Monica
Ferris needlework mystery.  Funny how the topic has come up at the same time!
