Volunteering is...

... finally getting on-track. I'm registered for my first 2 Red Cross disaster response introductory classes this week, and I'll have 2 more training sessions next week before they can send me anywhere to help out. The only down side to this is that this week (and probably next week as well) I'll have a training session on Thursday evening, which means I'll have to miss my welding class. Oh, well -- given the choice between my little welding hobby or helping people who have lost everything, I'll volunteer, hands down.
