These Boots Are Made For Walkin’

Here’s where it all goes down hill.
I have a theory about the post-Halloween weather in the Northeast.  Here on the coast, once the candy has been gobbled up and the costumes put away, the weather seems to take a turn for the worst.
 Rapidly.
My Daughter’s brithday falls in early November.  Ever since she was old enough [...]

All The Leaves Are Brown

I am feeling MUCH better today.  I could’ve slept a few hours more than I did, but there’s this thing called work.  You have to do it to earn money.  You then take that money and buy things and pay bills, not necessarily in that order.  Therefore, the time change tonight is a welcome thing.  [...]

Up Where The Air Is Clear

Look up.
I constantly remind myself to stop and look up.  We all miss a lot of good stuff by staying at ground level.  All the interesting stuff is up there above the ground.  We can see things that are long missing from modern buildings.
Yesterday was a gorgeous day for a walk.  It was cool, but [...]

I Love/Hate My Car

I have made it a point not to rant here.  I know I have stated some opinions from time to time, but haven’t gone off full blown.  Today, however, may be the first time I do.
I hate my car.  I hate the fact it costs too damn much to fix.  I hate the fact that [...]

Impossible Things Are Happening Every Day

Possibilities
Yesterday, I attended a 4-hour workshop on “Bringing The Best Out of People”.  I was one of two employees that didn’t have managerial experience.  But what I came away with was some extraordinary insight.  The highlight of the workshop was a short video featuring Ben Zander,  a conductor, educator and composer.  He also is the [...]

And the Hits Just Keep on Comin’

Just when I thought it wouldn’t get any worse, it has.
I was informed of my new schedule when I start at the warehouse.  I start this Sunday.  I will work wednesday – Sunday 5:30 AM – 2 PM.  That means I have to give up singing in my church choir. 
It gets better.
I  also have to [...]

Not a good day

I found out today that I’m being transfered, away from The Big City Hospital, to work at the offsite warehouse (a.k.a. Hell).  My direct supervisor told me that my skills would be better utilized there.  Read into it what you want, but this REALLY SUCKS!!!  If I work at the warehouse, I’ll lose about $150 [...]

Lights, camera, action

I intend to write another post later on, but I wanted to update on this week’s movies.
It’s a mixed bag;   “High Fidelity” with John Cusack and Jack Black.  I loved this as much as the book, but they changed the ending (thanks alot, Hollywood!).  I wasn’t expecting the plot to parallel some of the relationship [...]

Enter and sign in , please

I check the blog stats every so often.  I like to know who’s been reading my blog.  It is my hope that folks enjoy what they read and make a comment.  If they don’t like it, I’d like to know that, too. 
I would ask that if you do read, leave a comment,  A paragraph, a [...]

Forward into the past

I had this feeling of liberation come over me yesterday.
In my work, I have a lot of time to be alone, which means my mind wanders.  It used to be I would dwell on the little stuff,  stuff that was out of my control.  That would drive me crazy.  But I knew that, eventually, I [...]
