Actually - it IS Monday - but there isn't that much madness... The morning has been very quiet at work as I prepare for meetings. Home was a different story. My daughter and wife both stayed home not feeling well. I think my daughter's Crohn's is acting up again - and my wife seems to be "down" about current job and life struggles in general. I told her I would try to get away from work early and spend some time with her before my church meeting tonight.
I went through the NYC pictures today. It is fun to revisit them and remember what was going on at the time. Remembering the temperatures, feelings, smells etc. I definitely want to go back to Manhattan again.
Another earthquake reported off the Sumatran coast today - there are many who are fearing a repeat of the December 2005 tsunami. I pray their fears are unfounded. It may take hours before we know.
Pray for them... pray for us... pray for the world! Lord knows we need it!
Woof you later!

03/22/2005 - HOPPING INTO SPRING...
Yes - Easter is just around the corner! Woo Hoo! I really don't have any plans yet but I'm sure I will have to come up with something. The weather here in the Dallas area is getting really really sweet! This is my second day in short-sleeves and I'm loving it. Soon things will get HOT and we will have that to complain about!
I just spent 5 days in NYC with my daughter and her choir as I chaperoned these high school kids on the trip of a lifetime! It was COLD there but we really had wonderful weather. We had snow one night that made everything in Central Park white and sparkly. I got some great pictures. We also spent plenty of time in Times Square and even took an impromptu limo ride around downtown Manhattan. That was a real fun ride especially for the kids who had never been inside a limo.
Getting back home and trying to get back into the work grind has been a bit difficult. Also, my personal life has been hectic as usual with me trying to do so much and stay involved in everything! But hey - I'm not stressed.... nooooooooooooooo! :D
Well, as I realized that this will be a short week at work - since Good Friday is a company holiday - my mood just got ratcheted up from "really good" to "whoopie"!!!
Signing off now... Woof you later!

03/01/2005 - RETURN FROM THE VOID...
Well I'm back... from where you ask? (or perhaps you really don't care - and who could blame you!?) I'm back from a busy busy life that has had little time for blogging...
Actually, I still have little time - but decided to put that little time into a few lines. This is as much for me as for anyone who might come across these paragraphs in cyberworld.
My personal life has been quite hectic, in both good and bad ways since my last post in July. Since then I have had my truck broken into twice, I have met a new friend who impacts every aspect of my life, and makes my life richer. I have traveled to Los Angeles and am planning another trip to NYC next week.
I've seen my kids getting older, more mature. My 15 year old son turns 16 in a few days and will soon be learning to drive. My 17 year old daughter is driving on her own now, and dating seriously for the first time in her life. Her boyfriend seems to be the kind of guy I would have picked for her - although I don't dare tell her that (she might dump him!)
My wife and I went through some times of "distance" but are closer than ever before right now. She has even embraced my new friend and the two of them have also begun to form their own friendship.
Life is a funny, scary, wonderful journey. At this point in time it is leaning more toward wonderful, but there are always troubles on the horizon - I just feel stronger now and better able to face those challenges as they come into view and into reality.
The one area where satisfaction cannot be found right now is in my job. I've updated my resume' and begun posting it on the net. So far the only "bites" are from insurance companies looking to beef up their sales staff - NOT INTERESTED! :) Things at the office are shaking up again and it could be that once the dust settles I'll find myself doing something I enjoy... for now I keep my eyes and ears open and bide my time.
Thought for today:
Find that "piece", that "image" of God, in each person - and in some special way, bless that person - the blessings will certainly be returned many times over...
