Exit - Adults Sitting Around, May 2004
This is a big hunk of the adult Exit leadership. It may look like we're just sitting around, but in reality we're all thinking at the speed of light, communicating with nearly telepathic clarity, discussing what we'll be doing with the youth over the summer, addressing issues, solving problems, and just generally saving the world, or at least the teenage part of it. That and storing up energy for Exit the next night. No prunes are harmed in these meetings, but sometimes we do discuss beets, since they're so near and dear to the heart of America's teenagers.

Amy (Fearless leader) and Jordan run away. Was Jeff too boring? More likely, Jordan was just trying to take over the meeting and steal my coffee. Have you ever stayed up all night with a two year old after he drank a cup of coffee? It makes hanging out with teenagers look like a happy nap.

Judy Holcomb, Jeff Kyle (Fearless leader), Jeff and Starr O'Neal (you can never have too many O'Neals). Judy's not a grandmother; that just looks like a rocking chair. But it's just a regular chair. Jeff probably built it. Jeff is good with his hands, whether he's building his daughters a playhouse that looks like it came from Neimann-Marcus (really!) or using his hands as lethal weapons (he's almost a black belt). The latter is probably why we've never had to use rubber chickens on the kids to get them under control. jeff just cracks his knuckles, and the crowd disperses.

Jeff, Starr, Debbie Rose, and Sharon O'Neal hiding Susan Wiley. Or Susan hiding behind Sharon. Who knows? She's a Wiley coyote!
The leadership meetings aren't as boring as they look. Really. We inevitably break out the rubber chickens and get crazy. Then Amy brings out her justly famous desserts, and things get quiet for a while. The fate of your teenager may rest in our hands, so you certainly want us well fed. After that, we all pile into the cars and things you see just behind the love seat and chase each other or the Kyles' children and pets around the living room and kitchen. Sometimes we terrorize the neighborhood with sushi and beets. It's all part of relating to youth. It's a dirty job, but somebody has to do it.

Half a Debbie, Susan (still won't look, will you, Susan?) and Sharon showing off her best "greeter's smile". We think Susan may be a spy. We're still trying to decide whether it's for the CIA or another youth group. That would at least explain why she tries not to have her picture taken.

MIA: Charlie Johnson, Shawn and Tiffany Hall, Tabitha Thinwa, Shaunda Allen, and a handful of new trainees, as well as Sarah Vaughn, whom we really miss.
