Time Flies....when you're having....
or more to the point, when life is "having" you. If you look at the start date of this blog and my current posting date, time flies. Since starting this, I took a run at the Insurance business. Found it full of managers lacking in people skills and "less than moral" business practices designed to fleece good people. Not for me.
I have move to a solid company in the trucking industry and like it very much. Good people and a good environment with a chance to move up.
My boys are great and getting along nicely in life. The oldest is engaged and has been in college for what seems 10 years, but then he started his junior year of high school. He is working part time while he goes to school and is learning that nice guys don't finish last, but if not careful they might get taken advantage of - just a little. The youngest just took a summer job and starts college in 6 weeks or so. Good lord - and they were just 5...and there is that "time flies" thing picking at me again.
I am in a great relationship with someone I love and trying to balance past and present has it's challenges, but most of them I put on myself.
I am trying to get a fledgling BBQ business off the ground, email me for that blog link of you like. I use the word "trying" loosely as something always gets in the way. But I will persevere and get it done.
Going forward, I will label these posts as "philosophical" or "educational". When I decided to create a blog, I had two purposes in mind. Partially, I wanted to put my experiences, feelings, trepidation, failures and triumphs somewhere I could express them and where someone else may benefit from reading them. More importantly there were things I wanted to pass on to my boys that current geography and schedules may prevent me from doing in a timely manner.
I have spent a lot of time "talking" about doing certain things. It is time to start actually doing. As my best friend says "You got the talkin part done!"
Hang on...here we go!
