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!

Cape Girardeau - 3/17

100!  That’s the number of entries I’ve done!  I remember the first time I tried to keep a journal it lasted all of 5 days, but here I am still going strong some 40,000 plus words later.  This is quite an accomplishment for me!  My one regret is that I’ve not been as colloquial as I could be… you know what?  No!  No regrets!  Today is a great day not only because it marks the day of my 100th blog post, but because it is St. Patrick’s Day AND it is Sean Walsh’s birthday!  Good things come in threes and today that is more than true!  Happy Birthday Sean!  We’ll catch up one of these days although word has it you’re embarking on a new academic adventure soon.  Of course we both know we haven’t seen the last of each other.  I look forward to hearing all about it!

While it didn’t happen today, my Spartans won the Big 10 tournament.  To do it, they needed to defeat 2 number 2 seeds in the NCAA tournament, Wisconsin and Michigan, who most likely would have secured a 1 seed had they been the victors.  Kudos to you guys on this huge achievement!  Stay healthy and we’re going to go far this year!

Nothing really new to report on the service front.  We returned to the Schriener property and cleared a decent chunk of invasives.  The scenery is just beautiful.  Moss covered rocks carved into awesome formations by element and age, deer paths through Cedar groves that make you feel like you are entering Narnia—these are just the tip of the iceberg.  Some very good photo spots to be sure, but work comes before play.  Hopefully I can snag a couple before the week is through!


Well, I am going to go bask in the glory of the closing hours of March 17th.  I hope life is treating you all well.  Good night!
