Interesting how the karma comes back to you. I did a bunch of youth work for nothing and next to nothing in the early 90’s. Mostly with disadvantaged kids in North Van (there were more of them than now).

Well, an old room-mate and legendary multiple bike shop ex-employee, Mitch Diem, hooked me up with a guiding gig for St George’s School this month. 5 days on the KVR with 30 boys aged 15 or so.

Yikes.

Then again, having an eagle parked over the van while you are pulling out might just be a good omen. I’m beginning to think that I might just have a totem spirit looking over me, I see so many eagles these days.

This would also be the first time I’ve ever driven a school bus. I thought the van was big, but a yellow school bus is huge. Imagine four hours of this in your rear view:

Which didn’t lead to any real bright work at the far end of hte trip. Having fun with the tent, boys?

Good thing it only rained a little bit that night……
