"Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense." -Emerson


"Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing about." -Benjamin Franklin

Alma 26:30 "And we have suffered all manner of afflictions, and all this, that perhaps we might be the means of saving some soul; and we supposed that our joy would be full if perhaps we could be the means of saving some."

The First Rule of Ninja Club is that we don't talk about Ninja Club


So, this job has proved to be a melding of many a different personalities. One of the results of that is that some of the guys here have decided to form a sort of unofficial club.. the Ninja Club if you will... they are all going to self teach themselves to be ninjas. Now when I say ninja I want to make sure that you all realize that that includes throwing knives, ninja stars, bow staffs, and num-chucks. The bow staffs and num-chucks are all self made with PVC pipe. They are also investing in glow in the dark tape and paint. When I informed them that the point was not to glow and stand out but to blend into the dark they told me not to worry about it. NO GIRLS ALLOWED apparently, but I got one of the weaker ones to spill. You may have guessed it, but they are using the tape and paint to start to teach themselves how to throw in the dark. NOTE TO SELF: NO MORE NIGHT HIKES.
