Lending a Hand

I have one of those great professions. The kind of job requiring me to stop staring at my computer screen, throw on a pair of jeans and hit the road.

Most recently I loaded a bunch of engineering students in my car and joined a caravan to Bacliff. We spent the afternoon talking to each other like Darth Vader through ventilator masks. The masks were meant to protect us from mold while gutting a home ravaged by Hurricane Ike floodwaters.

By the time we left we were covered in rancid water and muck, but the gratitude shown by the women helped was all worth it.

Follow the link below to my story on the effort:
