ROAD TRIP!

Great talking to Will on Thursday. Glad he is getting to hang around older, mature people. Who he hangs around can greatly help or hinder your progress. Said he wanted to go on some road trips.

Road trips are great. This is the time of your life he’ll have the time to do things like that. It’s tough when gas is so expensive. He has to be careful about staying out of bad neighborhoods. After attending a game in old Comminsky Park, Ceil and I went through some really dangerous parts of Chicago’s south side. I’ll always remember the trips I took…I’ve tried to keep a list, that I recently transferred to my blog.

Choir tours: Mammoth Cave, Pike’s Peak, Niagara Falls, Texas, Colorado

Mission trips: Upstate NY, Indiana, and Gatlinburg Tennessee

With Ceil: Bermuda, Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, Boston, Detroit, Maine

Work Trips: Dallas, Chicago, Tulsa, Orlando, Tampa, Miami, Little Rock

Other trips: North Carolina’s Outer Banks, Gulf Shores, St. Simons, Asheville, New Orleans, Savannah.

Going to the beach every year is great, but if I had the money I’d want to tour the US. Baseball trips aren’t as much fun, because all you have time to see is the field. Living Science trips were good, because you see a lot of stuff.

Shaq is probably going to retire. He’s the 5th all time scorer, and won four rings. I remember when he was a freshman at LSU, and GT’s coach Bobby Cremins called him “Shannelle O’Neal.” Last night the Mavericks won game two in Miami, coming back with a 20-2 run after being down 16.

Beards, like road trips, are fun while in college. I had one, off and on. Just remember, you will always be meeting people that can help you along the way, and later in life…like that camp director guy. You always want to look your best (except perhaps on road trips). They look best when you keep them trimmed.

Went swimming again last night with Matthew. Friday night he’s going to the East Cobb Park with the ECPC junior high guys. Anna and Brittany slept over at the Hargreaves. Sounds like the Hurts are at the beach…without Haley.
