I get to do my three favorite things everyday this week 😍😍
My wife and I are still in the midst of the "50 by 40" project, wherein we endeavor to visit all 50 states before my 40th birthday. Our original plan for this summer's RV trip had been to cross off Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska, but since pretty that whole area is underwater, we're in the midst of a quick pivot to a New England trip, ending at Acadia National Park and crossing off Vermont, New Hampshire, Connecticut, and Rhode Island, plus West Virginia and New Jersey for her. A little frantic, but it's falling into place and I can't wait.
But of course, although the prairie states are turning into something of a white whale for us...this is now the second time we've postponed a pass through that region.
We made it to Reno/Tahoe several years ago, but I've still never been to Vegas, so I'm gonna hold you to that too!
Dude - that's MY neck of the woods! When are you coming through? (And if you're planning to go through Burlington, Vermont, I've got 2 kids who go to UVM and one is staying there for the summer. I'd love an excuse to cruise up there for visit with him and we could take you to a Vermont Lake Monsters game.)
Day 2 of VBS successfully completed.
Seems a bit early for VBS...
We find it easier to get volunteers when it is early in the summer - before people start heading out for vacations. It is actually a week later than the last two years when we did it during the week of Memorial Day - so we only had 4 days.
The theme is Rampage on the River - given all the flooding around the midwest, it might not have been the best choice but who knew? We picked the theme last summer.
I keep on seeing the French Open thread and seeing it as French Onion. I could use a good cup of French Onion at the moment.
Summer classes:
Philosophy of Sex and Love
American Indian Tobacco and Substance Use
Wilson, the ancestral OPK manse is in Connecticut. Have some nutmeg for me when you're there.
