After work yesterday a bunch of full-time went out to the Bear Brew to just decompress a bit before the week of staff training. For those of you who don't know, I work at a program called Upward Bound that works with low-income, first-generation high school students prepping for college. I was in the program myself as a youngster and now I will be gearing up for my 7th summer as a staff member. It's a terrific program, and takes a great deal of energy, so we just sat on the deck and had some good company.
