Friday Musings

It's Friday morning and instead of ending 1st period I've got the day off to attend the Urban Youth Workers Institute at APU with Abigail. It's really an amazing 3 day event that with thousands of youth workers from around the country. It's got a creative urban edge complete with hip-hop block parties and Latin flair. Last night they had the Asian urban hip-hop dance team that was really cool. All I kept thinking was what it would take to get Joel to get his techno grove on and join the Soulscape Hip-Hop Crew. Or maybe Cherie and the BCC ladies could bring it!

Ben, Andrew and I have also recently gotten into mountain jogging. Specifically, we've been running Glendora Mountain Road. We start at the base and ascend somewhere between 1,000-2,000 feet (about 4-5 miles) roundtrip. Yesterday, it was blazing hot but we went for it. We encounted two pretty good sized California king snakes along the way (where was Dad with his B-B gun when we needed it?) We got back in time to all have a good sweat off and watch the World Champs send Reggie into retirement. Looking forward to Abigail's b-day celebration next week. Bring the blog love on Thurs. Miss all the Mid-West folk.

Some parting questions...
Pistons or Heat? Bo Bice or Carrie Underwood? Orange or Arnge? David or Joel? McFadden or Yarbrough? Kevin Keene or Mike Reynolds (best BCC intern)? King Like You (Wes) or You are the King (Steve)? Nylund or Dad (you figure)? Field M or J? Pine Valley or Alger Pines? Let the water cooler debates begin!
