My favorite memories as a Boy Scout and church youth group leader always seem to center on community service opportunities.
When I was younger, my parents instilled in me the importance of making a good first impression. Look people in the eye. Make sure you give a firm handshake. Focus on what they are saying and don’t be distracted.

“Bride of the Monster” is a 1955 horror movie directed by the late, not-so-great, Ed Wood.

And also because Amy was hosting a sorority event at our house that night so I wanted to go somewhere else.
