from Spokane

I have arrived in Spokane, WA and have settled in at the house. Orientation last week was held at Camp Adams, 45 minutes south of Portland. Being pretty tired from travel added to the jam packed week that began by meeting a bunch of new JVs and those that I had been in contact with prior to coming to the Northwest. Last week was great though. Got to play some soccer, swam under the stars and became comfortable with those around me. I start work at the House of Charity on Wednesday (8/11). I've been learning more about my duties, which sound both intriguing and challenging.

For those of you familiar with Worcester, Spokane is a lot like it. The city has been doing a bit of renovating, so it's a pretty nice place. My roommates and I are planning to kayak and hike over the next few weeks. I'm still a bit new to this situation, so forgive me for being sporadic and/or vague. More to come.

    with a dozen alligators all around
    and he'd still weave his way out."

  2. Checking in. Read Parker Palmer's Let Your Life Speak this past weekend. Title from an old quaker aphorism. Seems your already there. Remember always where your life jacket in that kayak and elsewhere. Pax, Ed
