Some of us most likely have a "home away from home". A place where we go to escape the pressures and stresses of daily life and just feel at ease and relax. It could be the deer camp, the radio station, the RV campground nearby, or even your friend's basement. These types of places provide us mental rest from whatever is driving us nuts back home, and we can breathe easy knowing that we have some time to ourselves. Back when I was in MN, my home away from home was Story Book Lodge. It was pretty much an exact copy of home - A place I loved to be on the waterfront with lots of trees and delicious smells and amazingly designed buildings. The only major difference between home and SBL was that SBL had a lot of people around, unless it was the weekend, when a lot of counselors went home, and only those sticking around for the next week of camp stayed put.

Definitely a possible sign of them trying to reverse a trend we've seen over the...
You can read the first post of this type by finding it from when it was published in August in the sidebar. Happy reading Post Link Play the Daddy Warbucks role in "Annie": I've never really enjoyed the hero type roles all too much, but here's one I could pull off I think. It would be so much fun to put all my energy into this snazzy politician that falls for his personal assistant. Voice TV Commercials: Occasionally I watch the PBS station in my area, mostly on Saturday nights when I watch The Red Green Show During that time you can catch commercials announcing the sponsors of the programs, and the voice on that has been the same for so many years. I wonder if they need any new ones recorded.......? Host a Talk Show: Those of you who attended yesterday's division meeting will understand this one. I want a show were I could give comedic monolouges, walk up into the audience, and act as the straight man in sketches. I'd also bring my friends...
