Mike and Kim

It was great to see Mike and Kim, we hadn't seen them for quite awhile.
They stayed in one of the cabins at ACE with a couple of friends. They went horseback riding and did a canopy tour at ACE. Sunday evening we went to the New River Gorge and went rappelling. I love doing that, but it made me a little nervous because I haven't been in a awhile and there is very little room for mistakes in that sport. If the boat flips on the river, people take a swim, but a mistake when you are rappelling can be fatal.
I thought of all the people that I will really, really miss in the bus and custodian business, but then I wondered if there were any that I wouldn't miss at all and I thought of 10 people so fast that it surprised me.
One thing about wearing a long sleeve shirt when I raft is that my hands get tan and look a lot darker than my arms. Seems funny at times.
Sharon's family reunion is this weekend and she is heading up to Clarksburg on Friday, I have a River trip Friday afternoon and will drive up Saturday morning. Sharon is working a FLEX schedule, 4 ten hour days instead of 5 eight hour days.
All of the Director's at work got a new Blackberry, you can read email and surf the internet on your phone. Lots of folks call it a crackberry because it is so addicting, as addicting as Crack cocaine. At first I had it set so that it rang for both emails and phone calls, but that only lasted one day and now it is set just to ring for phone calls.
Last week Sharon and I went and picked Blackberries and got about two gallons. She made a cobbler that was superb. Saturday night when I got home from the river she had made stuffed peppers, squash and that cobbler. The peppers and squash came from the garden.
I know that this is more rambling and aimless than normal, please forgive me.
