Work was a bit long this week, then add in the travel times since all but one of the jobs I have been doing has been at least a half-hour away. Today, in fact, coming home took over an hour for what should have been a half hour before traffic. Sigh. So without further interruption, […]
Days -2, -1, and 0 were getting ready days of course. Day one however is where it begins. Past years have had a check-in time of 10:00AM. Not so this year. With a brand new 8:00AM check-in time I dragged myself out of bed early and got a ride over to the bank lot across
Would you take one look at me and say, “Send that boy to camp?” Well, whatever your answer that is precisely where I am headed. Six days in Michigan taking charge of 5-7 nine- and ten-year-old boys. There are roughly 100 campers going this week and we are headed there a couple hours earlier than

‘Tis that time of year again, when things come to an end for the hot season. This month is halfway over, and jobs will soon dry up for me. I anticipate this week will be my last full week for work, assuming I can find jobs for Thursday and Friday- the rest of the week
Of course we know last weekend was Easter weekend. For me, that means celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Of course, before a resurrection, there had to be a death. That is what Good Friday is all about. Now, some churches celebrate the entire week starting with Palm Sunday, going into Holy Monday – Holy
Just a quick note to say (in pictures shamelessly ripped from here and here): . Happy Easter! . Derek
This weekend is turning out to be another super fun one that started Saturday.
