Northern Comfort?

Here I am once again. Writing from the comfort of the bus which is now my temporary home. I must say I am enjoying the grind more then I thought I would. The best part of this is the new friends I am beginning to make and the comfort I get as I become accepted into the crew and some of the band. It is nice to see that most of the crew now will talk to me, joke with me, and include me into conversations as im becoming less of the "new guy" and more of a friend and co-worker. One of the most enjoyable things while on the road is the competitive basketball games which have started to become routine. I definitely need to work on my shot it has been a long time since high school when I could drain the 3. I had the privilege of shooting hoops last night with Mac Powell, Tai Anderson and Mark Lee. I never thought I would hear Mac Powell say "Trevor i'm open" Or give me a high five after making a shot. It's so cool because these guys are just normal human beings. Yeah they are well known but it doesn't stop them from just being like us. There is no I'm better then you or that I am looked down upon. I have also gotten to spend a lot more time with the guys from Tenth Avenue North. I watched some of the March Madness on their bus last night and just got to hang out with them. I feel like I fit in with these guys and it is cool to just hang out with them

Anyways, this weekend we are in the North East; Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia. Last night at Geneva College I was not allowed to set up the Grand Canyon University booth because we are "competition" Yeah, Geneva was scared, that's right. So I had the day off. I played a lot of basketball trying to get my shot back. Oh yeah, one other thing, our bus broke down at a rest area. At 930 I was woken up and rushed off the bus into less-then-pleasant vans that smelled of old cigarettes and was freezing. I hadn't gotten my eight hours of sleep so I was less then happy. At least I didn't have to set up my booth. So here I am, sitting on the bus, listening to the gentle hum of the bus contemplating napping for a bit. Tomorrow is back to Pennsylvania where I get the help of co-workers Spencer and Joey.
