I sure hope you are DRESSED FOR SUCCESS

I spent the first four days last week unemployed. It’s not that I didn’t have an employer, I actually have two of them at present. It’s just that neither of them had any work for me Monday through Thursday. With the end of the month approaching I’m watching my bank accounts extremely closely. One surprise… Continue reading I sure hope you are DRESSED FOR SUCCESS

West Texas observations from a transplanted Texan

When a writer has several hours behind the wheel of an 18-wheeler there’s too much time and not enough to think about.

I have a few observations to make since… Continue reading West Texas observations from a transplanted Texan

My view of west Texas from behind the wheel of an 18 wheeler

I spent the last half of the past three weeks delivering windows from Ft. Worth to Wichita Falls to Amarillo to Lubbock to Odessa to San Angelo to Abilene back to Ft. Worth. That’s a loop of over 1,000 miles without leaving our great state. I noticed a few details along the way I thought… Continue reading My view of west Texas from behind the wheel of an 18 wheeler

When is depression not a depression?

There’s a strange attitude in Texas this year. You heard that right, the state known for its attitude is a bit unsettled. It’s based solely on the weather we’re enduring. Being a native Michigander I’m used to extended periods of rainy days with clouds hiding the sun. This year has held an unusual amount of… Continue reading When is depression not a depression?

Stop this blogging train. I need to get off!

Have you ever felt the need to take stock in your life because the bottom has totally fallen out? I’m not talking about a bad day here or there. I mean something much worse than a hang-nail and a paper-cut on the same finger. I’ve dealt with those days with a yawn. No, my life… Continue reading Stop this blogging train. I need to get off!
