Beginning of the week and such

[jagr66fan]

So, I became sickly the end of last week, and it did not end until Sunday night. I still went to the outdoor school workshop, which was good good fun. The new crew of Student Leaders is pretty weak. Those of you that were around when Herbal Tee and I started, may have noticed this too. It seems like the quality of SLs at Namanu went downhill when Walrus left, don't get me wrong, Weasel is a great leader, but Walrus was great all around, It is hard to explain without ranting, and I am not in a ranting mood :). Someday, maybe, the quality will improve and people [specifically boys] will start coming to outdoor school for reasons other than high school credit or to get a week off of school. I lost my voice at workshop, partly from sleeping in an open air room, with no sleeping bag or pillow, on three wooden benches pushed together, on a night that was damp and got down to 38 degrees. Not the best sleeping conditions, especially when mixed with a sore throat. Saturday, at the end of workshop, I heard someone singing the "Three Bears" song, and totally botching the baby bear part, which is the hardest, key part of the three, and it is also my part, so I took over for him, got all 300 people riled up, and then came right back up to the front to salvage another botched song. Poo on them. They tried though, I guess that counts for something.

Yesterday was a good day, say Mindy before she had school, then bussed it out here [as close to her area as I could anyway] as part of a scheme I had schemed up, to surprise her by being at her house without her having brought me here. It was a seven mile walk, over a mountain, on road with hardly any shoulders and tons of dump trucks passing by. It was a dangerous trip, but well, well worth it :).

That is all for now, time to go spend time with my lovely Mindyroo. :)
