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!

Peck Ranch - 2/19

Hey all, I just looked over some of my more recent entries and noticed that I’ve been trending on woes.  Car troubles, wrist problems, sorry about all that!  Why is it so much easier to remember the negative than to recollect the positive?  I have been having a blast at Peck Ranch and this week in particular has been fantastic!  There are so many little things that add up to an incredible experience here—the majority of which is supplied by my team mates.  For instance, the other day Liana was telling us about a three year old who was hitting on two lifeguards.  Then there is Sebastian, our German friend, who we all think would make an excellent commentator at the Olympic Games.  He is also a riot out in the field with his quirky remarks about our progress and our lives.  Our team is constantly coming up with things to make each other laugh and I love it.  Life is good.

Marshall was astounded that we got as much done as we did yesterday.  He was expecting that portion of the fire line to take us at least 2 days of work.  Well after today, he is just going to be flabbergasted as we completed the other half of the fire line with an hour to spare.  The extra hour meant another hour spent breaking down that darn fence, but hey, we are getting stuff done and Marshall loves it!  Seeing that tough guy crack a smile was definitely a highlight of the week.


Going to go be social and hang out with everyone.  We’re having brinner tonight and have plans to watch USA play the Czech Republic in men’s ice hockey.  Pretty sure it has already happened… so no spoilers!  Later all!
