"Hey y'all, Look at this!"



















I wanted to show you guys what I'm working on up here in the great big flat midwest. Chicago is great! Next week I start on site with 15 highschoolers and to build a neighborhood park and playground. We are making mounds, laying sod, and casting concrete tiles that the kids get to design.

One thing about living in Chicago: I totally play up the southern accent. Everyone knows I'm "not from 'round these here parts..." It's inevitable. Every time I open my mouth, consciously or not, dropping a "y'all" or pronouncing things a little twangy... They just all know. :)
