Last year for the Great American Clean-Up I did a beach clean-up. This year, I built a playground. 20140426 Great American Clean-Up: Building a playground in Lake Worth! (Click to embiggen.) The city of Lake Worth got together with Highland Elementary and some other nice folks to put in a new playground behind a new fitness park! Americorps volunteers came out and we all found a huge pile of mulch and plastic barrier pieces next to a professionally constructed plastic and metal junglegym. We set up the plastic barrier and each took a turn sledgehammering in one of the stakes. It was fun to see everyone cheer each other on! Then came the hard work... the shoveling and hauling of mulch. For two and a half hours we shoveled and hauled. My partner was a young girl who worked harder than a lot of the adult volunteers. I never got her name, but she's basically my hero. :)

I found a "Goals" page from New Years 2004. As I write this, that day was ten years, four months, and 26 days ago. It's interesting to see how goals change over time.

In fact, a couple years ago I ran an 8 mile (plus obstacles) course called the Super Spartan. I run 2-3 times a week, and my average is 3 miles. I'm slowing getting farther and faster.  Check. Weekends I spend either at home with my husband (whom I had not met at the time of the origin...

Mogworld by Yahtzee Croshaw My rating: 5 of 5 stars I love it. I love everything about it. I love the characters, the story progression, the "what's really going on", the ending, the fact that the author read it, the nods and winks, even the total ripoff of a cover image that made me get it in the first place. Color it adored. View all my reviews
