Happy Thanksgiving!
I hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving! This is kind of a bitter sweet one for me. This will be the first since my little buddy Henry passed away. I still hurt even after two weeks without him. He was such a loyal little guy.
So, I just wanted to tell everyone to enjoy their Thanksgiving. We have a lot to be thankful for. I know most importantly I am thankful for my Lord and Savior, my family and friends. So enjoy the day be thankful. Oh and by the way, I am in the last week of classes. So next weekend I am updating the website. No major revisions just minor ones. So stop by in a couple of weeks and check it out.

My Beloved Henry Mitchell is Gone!
My loyal faithful dog Henry died today at approximately 11:00 AM. Henry had been in pain for the last six months, so today he is no longer in pain. I will greatly miss him he has been with me almost 15 years. His birthday would have been December 8.

Dec 2, 2011 fast approaching
Cannot wait for this date. It will be the date I am finally finished with my first semester back. I have neglected a lot of things the last few months between work and school. But, it has paid off. I have A’s in both classes so far. Although, I think my ultimate score in English Composition 2 will be a B. Well back to reading about Nuclear Power in Environmental Science.

What’s been happening?
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.

Learning
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.

End of an Era
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.

Work, Work and more work
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.

Looking forward to the next two weeks
Looking forward to the next two weeks to be over. Then I start my much need time off. Not going anywhere other than maybe to Inverness to check on that piece of property and put it up for sale.
Other than that nothing new going on. Just trying to get all my ducks in a row so that I may be able to start USF on time and hopefully get my company to pay for it. Hope everyone is doing great!

Remembering August 31, 2005
This was my first trip and first look at my now owned property in Paris, Tennessee. The video is really about an hour long. However, this is the first 13 minutes. This was also my first time using this video camera. I just learned how to import the video into my computer and was quite amazed how easy it was importing it.
