Today we followed through with a neighborhood service project, painting over graffiti and picking up litter.
I worked with Jeremiah Griswold, a Norwood native, and we painted over three graffiti tags here on Norwood. Aaron Klinefelter came along, too, removing a tag from marble with acetone.
On the whole, it was a pretty rewarding experience. Painting over blight is an instant gratification as service work goes. I felt good about it and it was short and sweet.
I enjoyed getting to know Jeremiah, too. He's a youth pastor from Mason (I think) and wants to do an outreach to the kids in Norwood. He's married and has three kids. Former sk8r, btw.

I have joined the blogging community.
I missed church yesterday. I had a show in Hamilton.
Sorry I missed the painted hands (and buildings, of course).
I am hoping you have some instant gratification this evening when you finish (??) the mantle in the living room - love, mil of dil
