Possibilities
I have come to believe that hard times are not just meaningless suffering
and that something good might turn up any moment.
That’s a big change for someone who used to come to in the morning
feeling sentenced to another day of life.
When I wake up today, there are lots of possibilities.
I can hardly wait to see what’s going to happen next.
I keep coming back because it works.

Cup of Joe, by Mr. Joe Hartwell
Good morning Alumni,
Well, the Hill Country Round-Up was awesome! It was a joy to see so many of you there. The theme of the convention was “We are not a glum lot” and it was anything but glum with all the great speakers, food, fun, and fellowship. I love conventions! It’s a great time to reunite with old friends and meet new ones. We cooked over 800 hot dogs at the alumni hospitality suite during the convention. I want to thank everyone who helped out setting up and breaking down everything— I couldn’t have done it without you. I spoke to the Austin Alumni last Wednesday night; those guys really know how to make a guy feel at home. Don’t forget Reunion!
Peace, love, Joe
