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!

Ava - 4/8

Zeus decided to stop by and see how we were doing on his son’s tower.  He dropped some rain on us just so we knew he was watching, but we must have performed adequately as there was no thunder or lightning.  It was just a sprinkle really; we could see rain pouring from clouds in 3 of the 4 directions surrounding us though.  Curiously we did not experience another drop of water, wind—well, that’s another story.  The Greek deity must have grown bored shielding us from the storm and let loose some of the elements to kick the difficulty up a notch.  There were more than a couple of instances where we had to brace ourselves on an attached railing or secured plank.  Perhaps Zeus was just getting a little too into Kelly’s Trampled By Turtles playlist because the gusts matched the tunes harmoniously.  Anyhow, we now have 6 flights completed and a start on the 7th with 1 day to go.  Now that we have found our rhythm I’m confident we’re going to see this project through to completion.


Working on the tower has made me a happy man—I’m really hoping to land a similar task before my service term is over.  For now though I’m going to hit the showers as I am long overdue and lucky enough to have one available.  Talk to you all later!
