It is the 100th post today. I've been meaning to do this for several days, but my hands are never free when I sit down at the computer. I've always got Peanut in my arms. So, my idea for this post was to have 100 tid bits about me. You probably don't want to know 10 things about me, much less 100.

The Moss Boss, that's the best. I'm jealous, I never had any cool nicknames. What is Philmont? Funny how we get along, we're so different. Guess that's the fun in life, right? Who'd want to hang out with a bunch of me's anyways?
Philmont is the high adventure Boy Scout camp in New Mexico. They have a training center that adults attend and bring their families along. I worked at that training center in the program office. It was a great summer.
