Testing. Testing. Is this thing on.

I am new to the great big sea of information that is Therap. I have been swimming in it for about a year and have come to realize a few things. First, the deeper into Therap one goes the more amazing it is. Second is that fact that once you step into the Therap waters you are carried swiftly (and gladly) into those deeper waters. And finally I have learned that no matter how deep you get there is always a friendly Therapite to guide you.

Until next time this is Craig, from the blue waters of the Pacific Northwest, signing off… Wait is this thing still on.

So…., word came out that Justin is coming to AZ. What a long time it has been since you were here last. Many of us in the CLP program at CCS recall those sessions of video shooting and sit-down interviews with Justin and the entire gang that was here in Tucson, those early days of Therap.

It would seem like Arizona would be at the top of the states using Therap. Unfortunately that is not the case. And why is that? That is a question I will have to ask Justin when he gets here. NO, I am just kidding! But honestly, I wonder what happened to AZ? Why is it that, an area that was a pioneer, is now amongst the last states to embrace the Therap technology?

Let’s just say, sometimes, you have to lead in order to follow. Or, you can look at it the other way round. Leading is not always from the front. Perhaps, AZ is still leading by pushing the rest to move forward. All is not lost for AZ. Thanks to the CCS/CLP, Therap is alive and well in southern Arizona. Justin’s coming will go along way in re-energizing the service here in the Old Pueblo and hopefully motivate expansion into the entire southwest region and beyond.

So, as Justin prepares to fly over to Tucson, I hope he will make sure his business satchel will be bulging with “goodies” to entice the business communities in this region, that need Therap but have not taken the ride, simply because no one has introduced them to the wonderful communication platform.

What a week I had last week.  My wife and I loaded up the three children into the van, and off we drove to Tucson, AZ.  We drove straight through, which took 30 hours, and ‘battling’ a blizzard all the way through Wyoming, but made it Friday evening!

We had a wonderful time (as we always do in Tucson)!  We took the kids to the zoo, and hit up Old Tucson, and of course did a WHOLE LOTTA SHOPPING!  (including the Tanque Verde Swapmeet!!!)  The best part of the trip was Thursday’s 90 degree weather!

On Wednesday we loaded up and headed to Phoenix.  While there we met some good friends at Organ Stop Pizza.  While you are enjoying your pizza, an organ lifts out from the middle of the room, and you are surrounded by pipes (even from the ceiling), and a man begins playing the organ.  The music literally fills the room!  It was quite an experience!

We left to come home on Friday, and made it a slow, enjoyable drive.  We arrived home Sunday afternoon.  The problem began Monday morning!  I went searching for my keys, and they are nowhere to be found?  As of this post, still no keys?  Thankfully, the keys to my car were left home, and I had the van key on me.  The rest of my keys…keep an eye for them if you’re traveling between North Dakota and Arizona!
