I know it has been a long time since I updated my website. But, hopefully by the end of the month I can get to it. I just have been very busy with work and classes. Hopefully, next weekend I will finally have some time. I have a four day weekend next week. Hope everyone is doing great!

Well done Statefarm. As a customer I like to say this was done with class.

Don’t want to go to work today. Long week ahead….

What’s been happening lately? Well, a lot. I have been busy at work and college. I am only taking two classes this semester. But, it feels like a second job. I am constantly doing something for my English class and trying to squeeze in my Environmental Science class. I was going to take three classes. But, when I saw the workload for my conversational sociology class I had to drop it. There was no way I could have kept up in that class.

Well I hope everyone is doing great and enjoying there Labor Day. I am off and working on class stuff. I also took tomorrow off to finish my class stuff and to go to for an ultrasound tomorrow. Not looking forward to going back to work on Wednesday.

Been up to reading and studying my Bible more and more each day. Just but the Word of the Promise (NKJV) read aloud which is a great way to supplement learning the Bible.

Hope everyone is doing great. Been working a lot lately and studying. Classes are going to start for me on August 22, 2011. I think. Let’s hope so. Depends on funding from work.

With the launch of the last shuttle today it is an end to an era. I remember when I was a teenager seeing them test the Enterprise and then launching all the shuttles. I never got to go see a shuttle launch in person. However, from Tampa on many occasion I could step outside and it was just a few minutes and I could see the launch from where I lived. I can truly say I lived and witnessed the whole shuttle era. Through all the high points and the two low points. I disagree with the decision to discontinue the shuttle program. But, what is done is done. I look forward to witnessing the birth of the next program.

Our political system needs major reform. I can not believe we let these politicians get away with almost literally murder.

Quote of the Day:
To educate a person in mind and not in morals is to educate a menace to society.

That is all that I seem to do nowadays. I thought when I left one job, via retiring and took another I would be working less. Not so. Only one good thing has happened. Once, I am done for the day. I am done. Don’t have to be worried about being called in or coming in on my day off. Speaking of which, I have a 3 day weekend coming up in the two weeks.

Hope everyone is doing great. Will blog more later in the month.

Hope everyone is well. I have been busy lately. Since, returning from vacation, I have been trying to catch up from work. Plus, I have been busy getting everything ready for me to start back to USF this fall.

Here is a picture with my niece and nephew at Easter Dinner.

Take care everyone and keep in touch.
