saturday morning cartoons

i wanted to say good morning from winter park. it is already proving to be an interesting weekend. we arrived about 9p last evening and had to get right to work. alex and i are on the entertainment committee and were running the bingo game which started at 10p. it went really well. lots of prizes were given away, people were laughing. our intention was to play "let's make a deal" bingo so we had 3 boxes which the winners of each bingo would then choose which box to pick their prize from. we were hoping the audience would get more involved with helping the winner choose, but it really didn't happen quite like we envisioned. it still happened though and sailed along. it's really just a way to give people a chance to see one another and get used to being around each other. definite social time.

there are a couple of guys here that i met in miami at the florida roundup and some really pretty men from dallas. eric from dallas became our bingo caller as he was raised in a bingo "house". he was very funny and did a great job! our friday speaker was dan from honolulu and he is the sweetest man i've met in awhile. he teaches sociology, has a sweetly attractive aura and goes out of his way to make people feel welcome. these are just a few, and then there are all the people in recovery from denver that i have never met before. the realm of possibilities just gets greater.

i'm going for a run with my buddy john early am and then doing the hike-to meeting at 7am, so i probably won't post until late in the day. i expect a few things to unfold and some of it may actually be interesting. there is a cleansing and rejuvenating spirit to these events and it is fun to let it wash over me. so that's my intention.
