Chris loves sawing, calling TIMBER, and carrying logs.

I like yanking.

It surprisingly gave a sense of achievement unlike the hedonist lifestyle I was leading of food and shopping. We really did feel better after helping out at the Golden Gate Park Lloyd Lake Restoration sponsored by One Brick.

In both high school and college, I was required to do community service. Why hasn’t that requirement traveled forward?

Next up: 9/20 Coastal Cleanup.
