Hello All,

I had an utmost blog-a-licious day. Week for that matter. Lots going on. This morning i went to the EWEB child development center where i had a working interview. I am applying to be the kids music appreciation teacher. I entered into the toddler room with my guitar. (i had to take off my shoes first). Then sat down and asked how everyone was and got a number of different answers: crying, people turning their heads the other way, and even big googly eyes. I figured i knew just what they needed. My first song was "Little Surfer Girl" by the Beach Boys. It went over well. I moved on to some Wilco, Johnny Cash and then Mazzy Star. I even played one of my songs. They dug it. I was happy to be there. Alex, one of the kids, motioned that he wanted to play some. So he strummed some chords to tickle his fancy. Then I moved on to the Kindergarten room where i tried to play some rhythm games. They questioned a lot. I survived. Barely.


Then, I went over to the Catholic Services food pantry off Van Buren and 7th where have begun to volunteer and give out food to the folks who need it. They sure an energetic bunch of people. Not to mention the workers. I also got to speak a bit of spanish which was nice. Many-a-family from México and some from Guatemala. I asked if they like Eugene. Most of them just shook their head no. Something about the weather not being similar to México's. Got me. I also heard from some belovéd relatives too!

Todo bien por acá. Todo traquilo. Tuve una semana loquísima. Tenía que recuperar todo porque falté mucho el finde pasado con la visita de mi mamá. Pero igual. Todo bien. Está muy nublado en estos dias. Lloviendo mucho. Me gusta. Pero ahora estoy cansado...muy cansado. I'm tired. Mañana es otro dia. Tomorrow is another day!
