The calendar for me seems to be a great big circle.  for the past twenty -five years August has always been the starting point.  We get back to school and we begin the trips our students have worked so hard for.  I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of giving a youth the opportunity to do something way off their radar.  Sitting in a blind and competing with Mother Nature makes me whole and I know it makes the students I’m with more complete as well.  August is gone so in the meantime I’ll take what the other 11 months bless me with.
