Woe is a me bop
So much angst I am getting for not blogging as the FATHER or this tribe. No need to write unless one has something to say.
As I get up every morning after working for 34 years straight now and ponder the new day I get very tired of what I am doing. So what to do? Will moving to Stillwater really help with that, probably not. Same clothes, same brushing of my teeth, same drive to work, some change in that I put a "shuffle" on my Ipod. Today I get "Time Won't Let Me" by the Outsiders, a great one hit wonder song.
So what am I saying, find something to do (work wise) that you like that juices you from a creative standpoint, don't do as I did, do as I say now. Work for free if what you are doing drives you, stimulates you and gives you comfort and joy.
You say, that job is not out there for me to have and be able to make a living.
Yes it.

Got up this morning at 4, couldn't sleep. The early morning is best for thinking and pondering who you are, why you are here and where you are going, if anywhere. After all, Neil says "everybody knows this is nowhere".
Read Brennan Manning, the bible and listened to Tom Waits new disc which gets a A from me in my rating system established in my high school column called "YingYang" in Nathan Hale's jornalism paper.
Quote for the day from Tom " I would rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy"
Out into the world that awaits...........................

Christmas is over again for the 53rd time for me. We had a nice quiet time at the farm and a blast playing Hollywood Rummy, I am ready for you now Heidi.
We missed seeing everyone, but really enjoyed talking to each family by phone.
What will you do different to make your life count in 2007? I expect to hear from all of you.
What I am going to do is to slow down, smell a few more roses, care about more people's lives and move to Stillwater.

Well, I have joined the BLOG world. You can tell I must really be busy at work today since I have time to do this. Not really sure the purpose of the blog since all the other ones in teh familey are for couples both to use.
I might share wisdom from my old age and many years of making mistakes.
Stay tuned for more.
