Good Samaritan Hospital - Monday, March 7

We got down to work today. Many of us spent the day at the Good Samaritan hospital doing construction. The hospital has been under construction for over 20 years. The progress in the last year has been amazing. The third floor is under roof and work has started on the fourth floor. Trust me, this is a lot of progress.

The work I did with a number of my colleagues could best be described as levitation. The (fill in the blank) cinder blocks, sand 2 x 4, sacks of cement are on the ground. Get them to the third or fourth floor. There are two pullies with ropes and hooks. There are buckets and shovels. We filled and attached and carried and hoisted. Up above, other like minded individuals undid what we did into piles and wheelbarrows. At the end of the day, there was a whole bunch of building materials up in a building instead of on the ground. And a whole bunch of us became closer to each other in the process.
