We’re Finally Moving In!
Posted by: | CommentsWell the day has finally arrived and we are moving into the new office. Not that it isn’t still putting up its share of computer glitches, equipment troubles, needed changes and modifications. I think my staff was either planning mutiny or murder on Monday, but they were troopers and we managed our way through it all. Bless my staff for all they put up with and their steadfast dedication. I couldn’t do it without them. My only regret is that my Mother didn’t live long enough to see this day. She would have been proud.
I was pleasantly surprised today when an old friend I haven’t seen in close to 30 years walked into my office. He has recently moved into the Louisville area and took the time to look me up. As another good friend recently commented on her blog about how the world is working its best to tear down relationships by always promising something better is just over the fence, it is good to be reminded of where you come from in order to see where you are going. It is good to reconnect with these who cared about you in the past as well as those who care about you in the present. Contentment starts with yourself and those who love you. If you think the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence, remember God’s love and try watering a little more.
Until next week, DOC
A Taste of Spring in February
Posted by: | CommentsHello again to my loyal troop of readers. Just enjoy this early taste of spring. The warm weather this time of year is a blessing from heaven. Of course, since this is Kentucky, won’t last long and then it will be back the grind of winter. The only grind that will be constant this year will be the grind of politics. We will be bombarded with lies, slander, gross exaggerations, and empty rhetoric. While I would have liked to see Newt match up in a debate with Obama, any change will be good. It really does not matter who wins, unless we bring some manufacturing jobs back to the US and cut down on government employees and their perks, all is for naught. We must return to what made us great. That is producing goods and exporting them to other countries
to bring money into our country. It does us no good to keep reshuffling the dollars within our country and even less to keep sending our money to China. Only by creating a positive trade balance can we truly return to greatness.
On the sports front, my beloved Cats are now starting to kick it into high gear. It was pleasure to watch them thrash Tennessee even while wearing those horrible gray uniforms. If I wanted to root for Georgetown, I would have gone there. The Cats now seem to have the aggressiveness around the basket they have been lacking. However, they still are having trouble hitting the 3 ball. It won’t really matter though, as long as they can break down zones. March Madness should be fun.
Until next week, DOC
