He made us all breakfast and was telling us abt the lunch hre made with the teenagers and some didn't want to wear aprons..so he told them "what do u think, yer too fuckin cool to wear an apron? He's this big muscley guy and to hear him drop the f drop was hilarious. Anyhow we're in seabrook nh and I've been ssraping paint inhaling asbestoc and eating lead paint |

| _______________________________________ [Sep 13,2006 11:31am - the_reverend ""] I built houses in blorida with habitat (1996) and rebuilt roofs on dein (aka navajo) reservations in New Maxico (1994 took some killer *gasp* film shots) |

| _______________________________________ [Sep 13,2006 11:34am - the_reverend ""] it's funny, I remember all the details of the new mexico work and stuff... but I can't remember anything about the work I did in florida... I remember the trip down there, finding snakes and alligators, driving through miami, eating grits, but I'm a blank on what work I actually did to down there. odd. |

It was a massive bbq and they had carnival rides, go karts, fried dough and italian ice booths. They had carnival games and you could win small prizes and stuff, it was great to get out of work for like 2 hours. They had a volunteer thing where if you wanted you could go and help out working in the store but there is really no point to it. |

Sometimes we break out the grill in front of the store entrance and sell hot dogs and hamburgers to raise money for United Way. |
