Yeah, so most have noticed, if not stopped coming to the site because I haven’t posted anything in close to 2 months. Sorry about that.

There really isn’t to much of a reason other than I have been using other means to keep up with friends. I joined Facebook at least a year ago I think and recently there has been tons of activity there that keeps me from thinking about my own site!! lol So if you want to come see what’s going on just about daily, click on over (link is on the side over there) and join up and start sharing.

For those who won’t or who want instant gratification,,,,,,Shelley and I are doing fantastic. She has meant so much to me over the past 2 months it’s indescribable. She’s brought to my life things that were missing for a very long time, and she surprises me all time with more.

I spent the majority of last month recertifying and getting ready to take some more just after the new year. I also hope to have some job news but I will hold off on that. I am looking for my second motorcycle, I think I know what kind. Now its all about finding the right price.

Rick will be down in a week to spend the holiday with all of us. I can’t wait to see him. He’s been working really hard up in Ohio and now has his own car (no, he can’t drive it just yet), he’s doing well in school. I am just really proud of what he’s done on his own this year.

Mom and Dad are in Alabama this week visiting the family down there. Mom has been having a rough time lately as a very close family friend and probably my mothers closet friend is not going to make it thru the holidays. She has cancer, and it’s to the point of just making her comfortable now.

Ray lost his job a few weeks ago so he’s working Part-time while trying to find another one. They seem to be getting by for now, but like everyone else, I hope the economy gets better soon.

All’s well with Amy, she’s still working too many hours and too many in the car going back and forth to work, lol.

You know that sort of thing that makes you think for a second?

It doesn’t have to be a complete paragraph, just one sentence.

Not the whole picture, just a small glimpse of something captured in it.

A memory. A smell. A taste.

That sort of thing that makes you remember. That makes you look at the what if’s.

Today someone who I call my brother became a father for the 3rd and 4th time. That’s sort of one of those things.

Yesterday I spent some special time with Shelley during a train ride thru scenic Maryland. That’s sort one of those things.

Talking to my son about his day. That’s sort of one of those things.

I like those sort of things and it’s those that I look forward to every day.

2nd weekend in October and how awesome were the 70 degree plus days. Friday night football at the local high school with Shelley and her friends, Saturday I drove 150 miles or so in a Poker Run on the motorcycle (walked away with $100 prize), and Sunday I spent studying most of the day, but enjoyed a great evening at Outback and Starbucks with Shelley and her daughter.

There was definitely more than just those tidbits, but hey, I won’t bore you with the details. It was an awesome weekend. Although it’s still going on for some (darn federal workers!!) I am back at the grind, maybe tomorrow I will have more news on an upcoming job offer.
