The New Year

Well, not much new is going on so far this year. The world has not fallen apart. The fighting in Gaza has not made gas go to $4 bucks a gallon. I can't complain. Obama is taking office and people aren't in panic mode yet.

Christmas/New Years this year was okay. I received a new fishing pole, ipod dock, and pizzaz pizza cooker. I took my sister to the museum of science and industry over break as well. I think she really enjoyed it. We stayed the night at my apt and the next day took the train. She liked all of that. I know she is only six so I hope she understood how cool it was to take the train, taxi, and bus all in one day. I know I never had the chance when I was young. For New Year's, my dad, my brother and I all went to KC for a gokart race. Imagine driving to KC on new years eve night. We didn't leave morris until about 7 pm because everyone had to work. The racing was good and we were competitive. That is all I could ask for. As for the person who took me out, I have his number and next time he will get what is coming to him.

I found out today that my secondary site for work is going to be in California. Yeah that's right...1 or 2 weeks out of every month will be spent in wine country. Sounds pretty rough! I was very excited when I found out the great news from my boss. Also, I am going to be doing more strategic things now instead of tactical activities. This will help my leadership and planning skills. I am so pumped right now! Work is really looking good. There are a lot of people less fortunate for me so I am going to make the most of what I have.

Everyone is overreacting to the weather. I mean come on...blizzard warning...sub-zero wind chill. We don't live in Florida. Winter is my favorite season. If I still lived I home, I would be outside the whole time, shoveling and snowmobiling. Instead, I will be going into work. I have faith that the tracker will get me there. I hope that everyone stays home so I can get to work without a problem.

The typical new years resolutions are now officially over. No working out...no reading more...no working less hours. Oh well. There is always next year...that is what cubs' fans have been saying for years.

Later,

Bobby
