“Its a violent pornography, choking chicks and sodomy, the kind of s**t you get on your TV” - System of a Down.

Brought to you by the same people that gave you Jesus Christ.

Brought to you by the same people that give you CNN & Fox News.

Brought to you by the same people that give you reality TV.

Brought to you by the same people that bring you Obama, Bush, Clinton and Nixon.

Somebody save us. Save us from YOU!!!!

There…got that out of my system….*whew* I think it is fair to say I am sick of the television.

I think that sums it up nicely.

Peace be with you,

Bobby

It was early Saturday morning (Feb 6^th) on the way back from work. Chris worked all day and all night (We have been hammered with snow and ice) restoring high voltage power lines and was on his way back home when he hit a patch of ice on the interstate. His truck spun wildly out of control, fell into a ravine and abruptly stopped after hitting a tree.

I suppose he was speeding. He liked to do that you know….

He died on the scene.

Chris leaves behind his wife and children.

I have known Chris all of his life. I don’t know what else to say.

That hurt.  

I think I’m done with this post.

Peace,

Bobby

Here is a picture of Kelly with Ginger. Not long after this picture was taken we had to put Ginger down. Kelly and Ginger had been best of friends since Kelly was 3 years old. Now all we have left is her memory and her ashes. I remember the day Ginger first came into our home. I also remember the day Ginger had to leave. I look back on these days between her life and death with a smile.

Today marks the second week in which she has been gone. The girls are not taking it well.

Death is a natural part of life. None of us know when our time is to come.

All we can do is make the most of today.

Peace,
Bobby

The job search is off to a very slow start. My goal is to make 5 outbound calls per day. Now 5 dials is a layup. Making 5 calls to someplace you might like to work is a horse of a different color.

I ALWAYS opt to take or make money calls before any other call I have throughout a day. I hate lurking on the internet for jobs. It reminds me of a cattle herd. I have all kinds of management and supervisory skills along with some very complex finance skill sets. Some of this puts me in government positions. Me personally? I would like to go with a small growing company. I loathe large corporate America much worse than the government really.

Since I am employed I need to find something I know I would like. I’m well connected which makes this secret search even more difficult. UGH!!!! I’ll be leaning on my contacts soon enough.

Of course I have to be covert about this during the day. In my line of work you are either “with us” or you are “against us”.

Nurse ratchet has started looking too. The opportunities for her are tremendous. Her salary could triple. Crazy I know. She has a wonderful part time job but in the spirit of looking she has found some great opportunities. Nurse Practitioners are in hot demand all over the country.

Adding to the mystery of this idea is my own personal uncertainty.

I’m not sure I want to change jobs. This puts me in the catbird seat. I just have to learn a new path.

There is so much more at stake than my job. This is about my identity and pride as the breadwinner for my family. The pressure is tremendous.

I’m still scared.

You all have been wonderful in terms of your support and comments. Your gift of friendship is priceless. Hopefully, I’ll return the favor if you ever need a friend.

Thank you.

Peace,

Bobby
