Summer, summer, summer-time!

Hey All!

(Can you ever go wrong lifting lyrics from DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince? Don't answer that.)

As June begins we choose to focus on the doors that are opening rather than the ones swinging shut. For those of us on a school year calendar this is a great period of transition and adjustment. For our house that means extended periods where our fellow roommates traveling the globe, and a more complex high-wire act of balancing our personal whims with the responsibilities of keeping a cohesive Moishe House summer event schedule.

More than any other time of the year, this is the time where our communication, understanding, and support are required the most. It is hard enough balancing a regular work week schedule, let alone an irregular summer schedule, where not only us but many of our regular program attendees will be "on the lamb" in one way or another. We must, as a house, make our expectations for ourselves and each other reasonable and clear. We must be open and flexible to make things work. I view these things not as inconveniences, but as chances to make ourselves stronger collectively and personally.


Soon we will be shaking off the hangover from our recently minted softball season and regrouping. Our goal is to make sure that we maintain the momentum we have worked so hard to build up to this point. I'm excited to take advantage of all the great opportunities that Summer presents (warm weather=less clothes=more fun), and use the downtime from the 9-5 to re-energize for some kick-ass Moishe House fun!

HAVE A GREAT ONE!
