this week

i'm fond of lakes and, thus, looking forward to my 30-day fema deployment in fond du lac, wisconsin. i will be working with a team of 10 other ameriwhorps - including housmate sara and wolf 5's very own jj - gutting homes and doing mold remediation from the june 2008 flooding.

it was not without some remorse, i left cape henlopen state park in lewes, delaware, this morning. top three reasons i felt torn about leaving (in order):

1. rad people (a.k.a. former s.o.s. crew leaders)
2. swimming with dolphins in the atlantic
3. demolishing a wall in a world war ii bunker
(don't worry. it's part of a historical restoration project.)
