It's the weekend

Rarely do I begin to write here and actually think I have something to say. Really, I'm just posting today because it's been a while, and I'm feeling like writing a bit.

Last weekend I was headed to Dallas via Houston, Woodlake, Diboll, and Tyler. In Dallas I sang at a wedding, unloaded a U-Haul truck until around 2am Saturday morning, drove said U-Haul truck to the dump in Melissa, TX later on Saturday morning, hung out with my cousin and his family, saw an old bandmate and his family, saw a bunch of people from my old job at the wedding, went to church at Grace Community in Tyler, drove back to Diboll to spend the night with my parents at their new house, left Diboll Monday morning to come back to Lagarto....yes we live in Lagarto.

This week had been relatively simple. Worked on Tuesday. Lazed on Wednesday. Went to San Antonio on Thursday. Today is rife with adventure and possibilities.

Possible options for this weekend: Do work around the house (mow, weedeat), go to Mcallen and cross over to Mexico, go to the beach and chill with Kristie...maybe take the RV and camp out there, visit friends in and around Corpus, shoot skeet, wash the cars...ok, I guess I'm not that bored or lacking for something to do after all, so I'll wrap this up and get to it. Have a great weekend!

All things new

The end of summer is a unique time for people who work at camps. What we've worked so hard for all year long has come to be, we are all tired and worn, new expectations are being born as we look toward next year, and there is no rest for the weary since retreat season is directly upon us. It seems as if we are waiting...waiting for a break... for next week...for a phone call or email....or maybe just the energy to go back into the daily grind of getting ready for summer camp.

I know that I'm ready to get moving again...at least, whenever I'm done waiting, I'll be ready. Right now, I'm waiting on vision for next year....for the who, when, what, and how of next summer. I'm waiting for chemistry to mix up just right on our team so that we can really tackle some big stuff together. It should be a fun year. We have projects and possibilities aplenty, so we should stay busy 'til next summer with no problem.

I am rambling and not really putting it together well so, so I'll wrap it up. No cohesive thoughts are coming to mind, so I'll just save it for another day. Here's a pic of the amazing summer staff of 2007 at a Corpus Christi Hooks game.
