Can You Spot This Volunteer?


I just wrapped up a field trip as Mr. Blue with a particularly inquisitive and rambunctious group of third graders, so you'll have to excuse me if I seem grumpy or perturbed. It's simply the residual from being Mr. Blue for two hours. It's really not you; it's me.

That being said, I don't harbor even the smallest degree of annoyance or anger towards this week's spotted volunteer, only great admiration! The astonishing Joe Rieke has raised a grand total of $300.00, which amounts to one hundred percent of his stated fundraising goal. Awesome work!

Mr. Rieke can also count as one of his varied accomplishments cranking out this gem of overstatement-understatement on his volunteer profile: "As you may know we are in a never ending spiral of economic doom." I laughed, I cried, and I wasn't sure which reaction was more appropriate. What is certainly in order, barring everything else, is a deafening ovation for the fantastic Joe Rieke!

Have a grumpy-happy day.
