My wife and i worked with some teens a few times with our campus ministry when we were in college. It can be both challenging and rewarding. Best of luck!

Thanks Kyle! I think that’s just the nature of ministry work in general, lol! People!

Same here. Challenging and rewarding is a good description.

Shave #164 (309 Open Blade Shaves) of 2019:

Gear: Weck MP, Personna blade (9), RR Game Changer .68, Sputnik blade, RR Big Bruce synth brush, JoHS Turkish Bath (Barbershop) soap, generic witch hazel, Thayers Medicated, and Barbasol PR AS to finish!

Inspired by Chris of the flying-type’s shave today, I chose to do a barbershop type shave of my own!

All went really nicely, no harshness to be found. The Personna HS blade is hanging in there and the Sputnik is much more comfortable than the Shark was at this point. Of course I love Barbasol PR, just wish it would stick around longer!

So far, surviving the hot days; thankfully it’s not been super, run around crazy, busy. We dip back into the 90s today, which will be a small improvement.

Today is the kids’ last day of school before the summer break. So now begins our annual test of parenthood as we deal with the ramifications of said summer break.

Have a great Thursday all!

I never thought of summer break this way before, but it's a great way to put it! lol

Isn’t it though?

“OMG our kids aren’t in entertained in public daycare half the day anymore. How do we teach them to entertain themselves?”

OK maybe it’s not that bad...but I can already see tomorrow - “I’m bored. What can we do?”

Hey let's paint the house, mow the yard and weed eat etc etc. They'll come up with alternatives to do.

Much different from when I was a kid. I grew up in a small Midwestern town and our only rule during summer vacation was be back before the streetlights came on. We made it most of the time.

Yes, I had a neighborhood of other kids and a library full of books to carry me along over the summer months. These days if there isn’t a screen in their face, they don’t know what to do; doesn’t matter what their room is full of!

Good luck with yours. Teach them right from wrong and self sufficiency and that's the best you can do.

 

[NurseDave]

Glad to hear the interview went well. You don’t have enough video games that the kids won’t even notice you’ve left the house during the summer?

Shave #165 (310 Open Blade Shaves) of 2019:

Gear: Weck MP, Personna blade (10), RR Game Changer .68, Sputnik blade, RR Big Bruce synth brush, LNHC Coconut Oud soap, generic witch hazel, Thayers Medicated, and RR The Stallion AS to finish!

Just a quick entry as I’m off to work soon. Get to close nice and early today and tomorrow!

Good oud centric shave today. A little bit of trouble getting enough product off the tub, it takes just the right technique for it not to start humming up too much...but dang this soap is killer when you get it right!

Feeling really sore the last couple of days. Not quite sure why.

Hope you all have a great Friday. It’s a weird Friday...doesn’t feel like one...

 

[Dave in KY]

Sore ain't fun. Hope you get to feeling better, but for goodness sake.....
