Desert Bus For Hope 2017 is on hour 121+. My health usually has a nasty symptom flare-up around this time of year, and 2017 was no exception, so I am grateful to have the "company" for a week I am often bedridden. I keep the stream running by casting to the desktop monitor screen we use as a "television" in my house, while I read a book or browse the internet on my tablet. My HJ horses appreciate the extra attention they are getting this week!

Do you watch the crew Drive That Bus? What team are you? My house is loyal to Zeta Shift. This is my fifth year bussing. DBFH is always the highlight of my November. Things are getting a little loopy with my sleep-deprived Canadian (and American) buddies, but it's still a ton of fun.

To my fellow bussers, what's your favorite Desert Bus memory? Your favorite driver? Bill and Kate (BILLSMOM!), have a special spot in my heart.

For those unfamiliar with DBFH, a team of awesome, nerdy (in the best way) humans plays the most BORING game in the world, non-stop, while their friends hold contests, auctions, and other entertainment to keep the driver awake. The goal behind these shenanigans is to raise money for the charity Child's Play. Child's Play works to bring games and toys to children in hospitals, especially for children undergoing long-term stays.

If you are unfamiliar with Desert Bus, this conversation might not make a lot of sense to you. Feel free to check it out, For The Children! Y'all are such a caring and generous group that I figured DB is right up this group's alley.
