....Because you all have stepped up to help me and Pondo out!
I'm not out of the woods yet, but I think my two counseling positions and my last program position might be filled! I still need to have some conversations with the 'potentials' but it looks real promising. Thank you!
I'm still down a video guy, though. Keepin' my fingers crossed. Trying not to worry.
Meanwhile the tent is being put right now, but is behind schedule. It was supposed to be done by Friday so that I could start this weekend with setup, but... oh well!
I have to leave in 45 min to go pick up our 'first to arrive' staff members for the summer. Lifeguard training is this next week... remember that, Heather? At least you didn't drown. ;D

I Don't Want To Admit It...
...But I'm starting to get desperate!
I still need two counselor guys! It seems like every time I make a possible good contact they don't call me back or they don't return the application or they need to make more money or some 'better' opportunity' comes their way. And I just now found no more than two minutes ago that Ed CAN'T do video this summer.
What is the deal?
And I'm hiring three less guy counselors than last year! I can't imagine being five guys down right now.
Why is it that girls (in general) seem more willing to serve than guys? This has been a common problem every year, but not this bad. Are there more responsibilities placed on guys than on girls or are modern day males to picky and don't want to 'work' and serve? I've also seen my share of 'momma's boys' out there too!
I'm not trying to bash the male gender, as (the last time I checked) I am one,... but I'm starting to get discouraged.
Please keep us in mind if there is ANY capable guys out there you know of and/0r someone who knows how to do video shooting and editing, as I've been telling others I talk to about this, please keep me and pondo in prayer about this situation and also for this summer. I would greatly appreciate that spiritual support.
I guess this is a little bit of a Rant.

We Have Arrived.....Finally!
...Pondo is now on the map! The World Wide Web map, that is.
Our camp website launched on Tuesday afternoon after many 'years' of saying "It's on the way", we can now say that it is reality... and it looks pretty good!
Check it out and let me know what you think.

Broke!
...That is what I'm going to be when I invest in the next wave of video consoles.
My previous post yesterday (down there\/), talked about the next Xbox, today just released news from E3 was about the PS3 and man is it a whopper! Plain and simple.... I'm going to be broke... broke of money and broke of time.
Ohh the suffering! Check out all th specs for the PS3 here.
That is if this even interests you.

Low and Behold!!!....
.....The video game world is about to change again! And it looks awesome! Something that will definitely have to be a part of 'Aaronland' (that entertainment theme park which is my living room). Sony is going to have to definitely step it up if they want to be a part of the 'ball game'.
Check out all the specs here at XBOX. It is mind blowing goodness!
So I spent over $150 of my hard earned money yesterday to complete the transformation of my 'Aaronland' living room. And it all fit in a pretty small bag.
'What did you spend it on?' you might ask. Well being the audiophile that I am when it comes to movies and sound, I bought all Monster Speaker Cable Connectors (gold plated I might add) for the 'system' so that no bare wire touches a speaker terminal... which is a 'no-no'.
So now it is all clean and crisp and no one would probably know the difference between the old sound and the new... but I do and since I'm the one wasting... I mean, spending my money on it, I guess that's all that matters. ;)

Sorry...
... that I haven't posted in awhile.
Just a disclaimer for future posts... there probably will be bigger time gaps than previous ones due to getting down to the 'wire' of summer. But I still luv' ya'. :)
I had a great weekend with Amanda and Jasen last weekend... nice and relaxing... for me and for them. So much so that they graced us with their presence for an extra night! I think Jasen enjoyed playing Halo on the 'Big 50'... he just kept saying things like 'it's freakin' huge' and 'this is awesome'. How was it going back to your T.V., J? ;) Hey, Jasen, by the way, I noticed that my ranking on Halo (all of them) got knocked back to 1! Do you have any clue why? I mean I know I suck and all, but it took me a long time to get where I was.
And that you left the clan! Is it because of the whole time difference?
Anyway, it snowed again last night! When, Lord, will it ever end? There was a movie a long time ago about surfing called The Endless Summer, well this season has to be known as The Endless Winter!
