Greetings

Welcome to my little corner of the inter-webs! I just wanted to take this space to warn you that my posts will rarely be up to date. Due to the spontaneity of natural disasters and the unpredictability of when AmeriCorps' services will be requested I will be digitizing my journal entries whenever we return to St. Louis. Oh, and most of the pictures you see here were taken by myself. If ever I do use someone else's material I make a point to give them due credit though! That said, come, leave comments and be merry! I hope you enjoy your stay!

Christmas Break - 12/29

Hello all!  Just wanted to wish all of you a belated Merry Christmas and an early Happy New Year!  There is no service to report at this time on my end, but if you are in the St. Louis area and are looking to share some holiday spirit with those less fortunate, our Warming Shelter will most likely be open for a couple of the days between now and the 6th of January and I can hook you up!  Currently I am over in Lansing, Michigan, which has just had a little disaster of its own.  A major ice storm made its way through the area and everything is coated with ice.  Much of the city was without power for a couple of days; my family was without it for a week, but as of yesterday electricity has been restored to most of the area.  While it made for a harsh Christmas it also made for some incredible scenery.  I will post a couple of shots my brother took at the end of this entry.


You’ve reached the end of this entry!  Really I just wanted you all to know that I am doing well and will be returning to the field on the 6th of January.  Hope you are all enjoying time with your families like I am.  Also, if any of you know of a good and affordable masseuse… the right side of my neck has been both annoyingly painful and stiff.  Talk to you all soon!  Happy Holidays!
