They Were Shining There for You and Me!

Great article from theboxtank on Joel Osteen's Lakewood Church along with a link to some amazing pictures. Worth the read. I've seriously got to visit that church.

For those of you in St. Elmo and/or care, Learning Structures is by far the coolest playground company I've ever heard of (not that I've done more than oh, 30 minutes of research in my life on the subject). Their process is what really amazes me: planning charettes with both kids and parents and then the neighborhood actually helps build the thing they've helped design.

And for those of you "in the know", this is what the Ad-Hoc Park Committee is going to propose to the board to propose to the neighborhood to propose to the city to pursue. Will be some fund fundraising we'll need to do, but I'm thinking we're up to the task.

I was thinking that'd it'd be useful to have kids of my own to enjoy the playground, but then I realized I'd be out there on my own anyway.

I'm thinking the park could be called Ed "Thunder" Sunder Memorial Park.

I like everything except the "memorial" part - I'm planning on sticking around for a bit.

Being that I used to work for a playground company, and that I am a loyal SOB, I prefer Kidsafe, LLC. Although, not really the same type of service.

Isn't "fund fundraising" superfluously redundant?
