Lookin' Down From the Apple Tree

Today I made a wonderful discovery. My good friend Patrick Vincent has recently started a blog and I think that it would be a wonderful recepient of your time and attention. The musings of the Weasel can be found here.

One of the good things about this journal is the way that it allows me stay connected to you, the readers out there. I have thoroughly enjoyed the discussion, debate, and nonsensical remarks that have arisen during the last few days. There are so many ways that techonology can cause us to become insulated from each other and to withdraw into our own little worlds, but sometimes I think it is able to fulfill its purpose of bringing people closer together through the simple means of talking about the College World Series or inane political ramblings.

Current Listening: "Greatness in Tragedy": Greatness in Tragedy.

One of the best parts of my summer so far, besides living at the 'Burgh and jumping off of waterfalls, has been the opportunity to meet some of the people who make ACU run on a day to day basis, but are sometimes out of the eye of most students. Most students will never meet Mr. Bob Nevill, but this does not mean that he does not do very important work for the ACU community. As the Director of Physical Resources, Mr. Nevill makes sure that all of the grounds of ACU are immaculate and he helps on the new construction projects that will continue to build ACU.

He was incredibly kind yesterday in our interview as he showed me around the facilities that he manages and as we were able to look at the proposed plans for new building projects around campus. There are hundreds of people who do very hard work at ACU without the opportunity to stand in the spotlight. We owe them our thanks and appreciation each day.
