Today is Aug first and I officially start my ‘John-battical’  Its an idea i’m borrowing from my freind Ben who coined the name of his pause as a ‘Benbattical”.) We’ve got so many great things going in our life right now.. fluffy, italy trip, my moms birthday and kids visiting that I need to step back from work a little.  With the blessings of my boss Katie, I’m going down to about a day a week of work (from a 3 day a week normal)..   It feels kinda strange to be stepping back like that when there are so many things calling me from work.. but there are always things pulling at us.. and my sanity is worth it 🙂

Wish me luck !

After a long day workign on Fluffy stuff, Diane and I went down to have dinenr with our freinds Tim and Priscilla.. From there we all went down the road a little to Zeno Mountain Farm . It run by my new freind Will, his brother and both their families. Zeno runs a camp for people of all physical and intellectual abilities.. it’s an amazing place that Will and company have bnuilt in the woods of Lincoln VT. There are these amazing camp buildings nestled in the wooods.. it’s lie watching the ‘ewok’ part of one of the star wars moviws. Tonight we were there to see the play which was a take off on Annie.. the actors and acctresses were a mix of councilors, locals and campers.. People fof all shapes and abilities. itwas SOOOOO good. Funny.. well produced and such a feel good time.   My deep resepct for will and the crew who put this on.. and a shout out to Shawnsy on lights and sound.. 

 

After the show. Will and the cast members came out in the Lemon Art Car that will is building for burning man.. (see this post). .   Will and the other folks from the play demonstrated how to be birthed from the lemons womb.. ok a lot of metaphors working there.. but such a cool concept car !

 

We came away feeling happy and inspired.. What a great event and what a great mission !
