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!

ACSTL HQ - 1/8ish

The past couple of days have kind of melded together.  Dan Burch’s group headed out on Tuesday to Cape Girardeau, but finding a spot for the rest of us with this weather has been problematic.  Sooo, taking advantage of our time in the area we have been cleaning and reorganizing whatever we can get our hands on in the ACSTL HQ.  We’re also regularly taking up shifts at the Warming Shelter, which has been fun.  Half the people staying here have more advanced phones than I do—they’re watching movies on them and everything.  Maybe once I’ve concluded my affairs with AmeriCorps I will finally upgrade… but for now I think the tank of a phone I have is better suited for our rugged work as it is much less likely to break.

I am actually at the Shelter right now.  It is nearing 3:30am and surprisingly I am not the only night owl here.  I count at least 10 individuals that are looking to outlast me.  Sorry guys, I may be getting old, but my time spent in college, not to mention my extensive time spent gaming, has more than prepared me for moments like these.  *flexes*  It is nice to have someone to talk to though so I will settle for a tie if you really, really want to… but I would take advantage of a nice warm bed if I were you as I think I will be doing so when I return home.



It’s about time for me to do my rounds to make sure all is well, so an early good morning to you all!  At the moment it looks like my group will be heading out to Current River on Monday for a 10 day.  I will let you know if that changes.  Later!
