Friends,
Well, it had to eventually happen. I finally got up off of my rear and pitched in to work on a community project. We’re building a huge and elaborate playground at the Idyllwild Community Center park. Through donated funds and materials, and volunteer labor, this is the first big step in constructing a massive public complex for the enjoyment of people here in my little town.
I wasn’t sure that my rickety construction skills would prove useful, but I had a nice time, met some great people and despite the howling complaint from my knees, I’m experiencing a nice sense of accomplishment. There’s more work to do tomorrow, so if I can get everything I need to get done at the Lodge finished in time, maybe I can lend a hand (or two) to put on the finishing touches.
Your pal,
– bob
