the interview was with local station BTV-10, regarding the annual york neighborhood dumpster day, which aaron was in charge of. (if i can figure out a way to post the footage, i will!) every year local trash company SSC donates a huge dumpster in the parking lot of nelson's market, as a service to our neighborhood. we try to time it for when students may be moving out and leaving strange items on the streets and in alleys, and we send trucks to roam the 'hood gathering trash. the dumpster fills up within hours, and in fact we had to turn some folks and their trash away.
aaron did a great job as the dumpster czar, and it was clear he enjoyed the hands-on nature of his work.
later that day was the big seaview north vs. seaview west baseball game, at a public field in arlington. it was a lot of fun, although it was super HOT! each team had shirts that said "northenders" or "westenders" and with their player names (aaron's was "hoser"). we met some nice folks from the other yard, including a pregnant couple who live on a 30-foot sailboat and intend to sail around the world after the baby is born. suddenly my fears about sailing to the san juans seem a little tame!
here's aaron the jock. (it's funny to see him with a baseball bat in his hand instead of a plane or a ruler.) he did have a dramatic slide and has the battle scars to prove it.in the end, the westenders won, which wasn't a big surprise. they were wearing cleats, after all. (more pictures here.)
