Sometimes I think blog writer's blog comes from the first field to fill out "Title." I think they should put it at the end so you can write first with out trying to figure out if the title is relavant to what you end up talking about. I had 3 different titles in there before I decide to just leave it blank.

Travels:
I will be leaving this Sunday morning for a trip to IL to see one of my best friends and spend a week with him and end the week participating in his wedding. I am really excited though I have never driven so long before by myself. Luckily I have a few books downloaded to my iPod for the trip.

Becoming my Dad:
The older I get the more I realize how many traits and habits I have that my Dad has. The funniest realization was last week. I keep my office candy jars filled so I keep my stash in my desk drawers. Last week as I was opening it up, I realized that my Dad when he owned the Western Auto Store growing up, also had a stash in the same drawer of his desk. I can remember as a child, opening it up to see what I could snack on after school.

Week at the Office:
In preparation of my vacation to IL, I have had to get all my ducks in a row at the office, I am amazed at how effiecent I am when I know I am heading out of town. I am able to do the work in 2 days that it usually takes me 4 days to accomplish. Granted some tasks and projects get push off till later, but still, I wish I could be more driven all the time.

Gone on before us:
I have missed my Grandmother Duer a lot this month. Don't know why, this month is not special for her, nor me. I just have missed her presence in my life though it was aroud 10 years ago when she died. She was one of those grandmothers who even when I did wrong, still thought I could accomplish whatever task was put before me. I pray that she is finding me faithful to the faith she helped instill in me.

Beatles:
If had a few hundred dollars to just throw away, I would buy a plane ticket to Las Vegas and catch the Cirque de Soliel's show feature the Beatle's music.

Debt:
Speaking of throwing money away, I am in the throws of deciding whether to go in to debt a little more and take some classes here at AUburn University. The problem is, I can't decide what to take. No inventory or test has given me a clear brain signal as to what direction I should take.

Here is the only picture I have of when I let my hair and beard grow out for Fiddler. Nancy requested I posted it and since she has written a book and all, I figured I should do what the celebrities wish of me. Sorry for the graininess of the pic, the theatre group had taken pictures and laminated them so this was the best I could do.
