344. Got My Back
It is nice to know that someone has my back. On Friday I took my girl scouts to a camp out in Rustic Canyon and when I arrived I realized there was no cell reception. I started to panic. I had 8 girls to manage while at the same time trying to figure out how to post the blog without a cell connection. The first couple of hours at camp always includes a lot of settling in. It was well after dinner and just before bedtime that I was able to interrogate a high school level girl scout to discover the one cellular sweet spot at camp. It was located at the top of a hill and available for text messages only on a phone with the Verizon network. I persuaded a friend to try it out and sure enough if she stretched her arm out over the balcony of cabin 13 the weakest of signal was there. I was able to text Curtis and get him to guest author the next two nights of blogging. When I got back on the grid today I was able to read his posts. He had my back, he wrote two beautiful posts and supplemented them with some decent photographs. This blog has monopolized much of my time in the last year and I know there have been several times that Curtis wished it never existed. But this weekend, he knew I was so close to the end of my project and how important it was for me to keep going.
