Chapter 98: Steven's Last Night in Town
Today draws Operation: Tuesday to a close and I want to say what a joy it has been to put into motions my permanent place on the coast and see so many great friends. I have to say that I haven't mentioned my friend Amanda (who is actually called Amanda) whom I missed by a matter of hours when I arrived last Tuesday.
Amanda was one of the sweetest people I have met on the coast and was a Grade-A ass-kicker out in the field leading crews with Brannon and doing really amazing stuff. I had to say that I missed her a lot but wish her well in her work back at Stanford and hope to see her back in the future.
My last day was pretty low key. I worked in the morning over at the center then headed over to Hands On with M who had to speak to the new AmeriCorps people. Alas, the pups had returned to their temporary home, so I didn't get to see them, but I did help Heath put up a big pen in the back for Sarah's dog Moxie so she wasn't so cramped up. Other than that, it was a pretty uneventful day. Two of the studio students from the semester are staying the summer so they were there for 'Corps training and made the exact same structure of blocks during one of the team building exercises... architects, go figure :).
Anyhow, I'll be leaving for the airport shortly for my last stay up in Minneapolis before the big move. My facebook network has been changed to Gulfport/Biloxi, and in modern times I think that spells the end for a time to my Minneapolis life. The next chapter is about to begin. Thanks for everyone who helped me turn pages to get to this point.
