FUN FUN FUN

So this is the second day that I have managed to keep this going. I really wonder how long I am going to be able to keep the fire going. Well this week has been kind of boring, not a whole lot going on in my life at this p[articular moment. Last night, Tuesday, we took the scouts to the swimming pool to get the swim check passed off, so we can go to Lake Powell later this year. When we were getting ready to leave a Boy Scout came up to me, because they have put me in charge, and who are they you ask, THEY are the all powerful presence that keep the world turning. THEY are responsible for making all of the most important descisions in life that make the world make even less sense than it already does. THEY are in charge of putting plans into files and leaving them somewhere and losing them so that little peons, like me, have to return and come up with whole new plans.

Anyhow they have put me in charge of the Venturing Scouts. So, a Boy Scout came up to me and asked if he could go with us to the pool so that he could work on his swimming merit badge, seeing as how he has already passed off his lifetime fitness requirements that the other Boy Scouts were doing. I said, "Sure why not. That sounds like a good idea." So we all piled into the two cars of the other two leaders, there are supposed to be six in attendance, but again THEY have left it up to me to carry this scouting program. So, the two other leaders load up their cars and low and behold, one lone scout still remains and me as well. I, however, have ridden my motorcycle so I only have room for one more person other than myself.

After putting on the extra helmet that I had strapped to the back of the bike, we went, and i got to listen to, "Don't go to fast, slow down, don't tip over, this is cold, it's too loud." the whole way there. When we got to the pool we all went in and the other two leaders and I waited for about 5 minutes for the boys to get all changed and come to the pool. We had a total of 5 boys in attendance and out of those 5, two were not Venturing age. Out of the remaining three however, only two passed off their swim checks, and not because they tried and couldn't do it, but because they didn't want to do it right now. They wanted to wait until a later date to pass it off. It never ceases to amaze me at how, when everything is placed in front of some people and they don't even really have to think about the choices to make, they still seem to goof up and not get things done in a timely manner and make things difficult for the rest of us who would like to live fairly simple lives.
Sweet so my computer shut down last night while I was typing and I thought that I lost all of what I had typed, however this thing saves it so that I didn't have to type the whole thing again. Well I think that for the most part I was finished anyway.
