I am really kind of tired while writing today. My poor prose :(. I biked to work today and yesterday. My bike ride consists of about 10 minutes to get to the ferry across the Mississippi river to get into downtown New Orleans. It has a gorgeous view, and we get there just at sunrise, as ferries leave every half hour (7am). Much of the remainder of the bike ride (20 or so minutes) is through this brickly paved area I call the river walk, again, simply astounding views. Sunlight, water, boats, sculptures, people.
At work today we had our first group of volunteers at our work sites. I was "in charge" of 10 or so volunteers as their house captain (HC). I had to welcome and give an orientation to these guys, which I was a little nervous about last night and this morning. I had to explain who our homeowner was, the neighborhood, RTNO(our organization), safety, and where they all came in. It went great, in fact someone from their organization (also americorps) came up to me and said I did a good job. Phew. I also went in an attic today for insulation work walking above ceilings that were 12 feet high (and seeing straight down to the ground level floor) and there were only crossbeams to stand on. I was scaaaaared, but I bit the bullet so nobody else had to go up there. I guess this means tomorrow I am probably going to have to go up there, but I assure you I am being as safe as I can. It gets really hot up there and the sweat just drenched my shirt like crazy. It was kind of funny, looking back.
I miss 3 places right now. 536, 18o0, and Knox. Ok, I am going to go sit on the porch and drink a beverage.
(Oh yeah, and to explain the title)
I just watched an episode of MacGuyver that just made me so dang happy. episode 3 season one, where he helps gypsies get into america. Hahah. And I ate my new specialty. Turkey Bacon Veggie Burgers, or TBVBs. If you want elaboration on the magnificient meal, I would gladly answer any questions. Peace.

MacGyver is the best! You can't beat a show with a geeky-smart hero.
Is a TBVB similar to a veggie burger with regular old pork bacon on it? That's mighty tasty stuff.
guess what ton-loc: yesterday I too crossed the Mississippi, albeit farther, much farther north.
w/r/t adding our right honorable friend Allison: this will probably have to be done by the Admin, who happens to be on Beaver Island until early next week -j
Yea, I am pretty sure reg. pork bacon would probably be even a little better tasting than the turkey.
They make these tomato/basil/pizza flavored veggie burgers that I added my favorite pizza toppings to. (Gee, I sound like a commercial.) Their morningstar, and I put parmesan, ranch, cojack, and tobasco on them. MM MM Good!
and ah yea, shoulda called Dan-ministrator before they hit the beaches of north MI. Thanks J.
I just sent Allison the invite.
Now I gotta catch up on the posts and make a new poll!
