Years and years ago, back when I was in college, my parents did a very cool thing for me. They gave me a summer “on”. If I promised to work a volunteer job for the summer, they would help pay for my rent, car insurance and food. I only had to promise to work a…

volunteering: georgia marathon
With our move to Decatur a year and a half ago, our travels have dropped off dramatically. For one, Chloe is now not only in school, which hugely curtails our adventures, but she’s also on the gymnastics team. In addition, finances are tight as we’ve been carrying two mortgages. Although I’m disappointed about not getting…

Our job was to sort out the “bad stuff” and box up all the good stuff….
graduated from the police academy

Emergency but not 911
At the last minute I volunteered to work at the Wine Festival in Decatur. With 2200 attendees and Ponce being closed, it is no small festival. Even more last minute due to cancellations, I was asked to be a gate captain. As my instinct is to say “YES!”, I readily agreed. Unfortunately, I had never…
