First time I met Calvin[1].
 

It's always bittersweet to send folks off to college.  I'm sad that they're leaving yet excited for what God has in store for them.  We'll miss you guys!

So this past week I hit my 10 year anniversary here at Sun.  When I think back to all that has happened in 10 years, it's been quite a ride.  Part of my personality though is that I like to stick with things as best I can, until I know it's time to move on, like...

1. Olympus E-1 [4 Years almost].  5 MP DSLR, a relic by today's standards, but still the camera I enjoy using the most
2. Youth ministry [9 years] 7 yrs. of friday nights, but really a lifetime of involvement. 
   
3. Maxima [11 years strong].  Almost 200k miles.  The way I drive it, I'm surprised it's lasted this long, and it still drives with some umph.  Funny thing, since Yosemite the engine light  has been on but for some reason the light turned off this week.  How cool is that. 
   
4. Church [11 years]
   
5. First suit - [16 years] Still wear this quite a bit for weddings and BSF.
6. Dunlop 300i tennis racket - [19 years] Don't use it much, but it waits patiently in my closet.
   

I'll admit that I'm not immune to the winds of progress (as I wait for the E-1 replacement).  I guess for me it just seems most of the time that the grass is greener on the other side if you don't water and take care of your lawn. Even after 10 years, I'm still learning new things at work, I guess God is not yet done teaching me.
