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!

Winona - 4/18

As I need to get a move on let me explain to you what we did today… no there is too much, let me sum up.  We went to Riverton East and West and prepared the two riverside entries for the public.  Lots of leaf blowing and stick picking up…ping—two things we have become adept at over the course of this week.  Our contact for the day, Anthony, said to be at Riverton East at 8:00am and that the day will involve “blowing and stick chucking,” but he made no mention as to whether or not he would be meeting us there.  After it was 5 minutes passed the hour, I made the executive decision that he intended for us to clear the lots so I had 3 of my crew take up blowers and sent the rest on a seek and destroy mission involving the fallen branches.  Our contact showed up an hour or so later, by which time we had finished half the lot and were fine tuning the rest.  He was happy with what we had accomplished that he sent us off to replicate our efforts on the West side.  Two songs came to mind and would not leave after our transition; East Side West Side that we sang back at ALFA and the Star Wars gangster rap.  Anyways, we did good things guys—good things.


After being told I’ve made great strides as a leader and that the one thing I need to work on is being louder and/or more vocal, I am on my way to Chicago to spend Easter with my family.  Happy early Easter everyone!  Until we meet again!
