Cleaning up the 'hood - 67 volunteers and 2500 lbs of trash!

From Tranquilla II on the Back of Eddy Creek - Lake Barkley -- I am often asked: "Why do you enjoy your work?" after all it is very stressful at times; you never seem to "get away" from it all; and sometimes the folks you deal with can be very difficult and at other times just downright delightful.

Delightful, energetic, committed, fun-loving, and focused were all the folks we worked with to help the Hawthorne Civic Association to clean up their neighborhood recently.

So, I wanted to take all those pictures I took and put them into an enjoyable format so you could see for yourselves why we enjoy our work. Thanks Doug, Lil, Chuck, Pat and Ed for including us and all the Lockheed Martin and contractor volunteers.

Enjoy:

Depression

Many of you have been kind enough to drop me an e-mail to check on me, call or simply ask. Truthfully and candidly I am slowly coming back yet I am fighting a pretty severe round of depression brought on by the loss of my buddy Stimpy. However, like all things in my life this too shall pass.

And yes, Virginia I am doing an exhibit of my photography this month in Princeton at the art guild.
