Been a week now and no response from the long lost aunt. Not sure if I should try writing a real letter instead of sending an e-mail, in case she no longer or rarely checks the account. Or maybe I should not try anymore. A lot has happened since the last time we spoke and the oldest aunt was the one who spent more time trying to know me than ( Read more... ) -

The time I spend at work is like watching a comedy of errors. Can't help but wonder what is up since the owner of this place just does not seem as stupid enough to allow this place to be this bad. To rehire people that have threatened employees that are still here. I see some of the stuff that one of my last employers did to another dealership ( Read more... ) -

Still no word from the long lost aunt. Trying to keep in my mind that she just doesn't check her account very often, but I tend to latch onto the worst and run with it so that hasn't been easy ( Read more... ) -

Found out that one of my uncles passed away on Saturday. That makes two deaths on my mom's side of the family this year. I checked the local paper for Vacaville but the obit wasn't there yet. As my thoughts have a strange way of jumping around I decided to see if I could find my blood fathers obit in the paper. It was from years ago and it ( Read more... ) -

In my last year of high school I ran with a tight group of friends. Eight of us to be exact, with fringe associates that came and went. Some time graduating I became a roomie with one of the gals and considered her a close friend. She went through a lot with her parents and trying to stay in college and finally gave up, but the mentality she had ( Read more... ) -

Jeff's last day at the present dealership is tomorrow. He's been here just a little while longer than I so it will be strange for awhile not seeing him and not commuting into work with him. With that said they have a strange way of trying to get him to stay. Instead of trying to match, or coming up with something to get him to stay they have ( Read more... ) -

For some reason I got to thinking about Samhain today. With that thought I remembered that it was on Samhain last year that I was on the road leaving Texas. It took until the next day to actually get out of the state due to us leaving so late in the day, but it was still my day of leaving the state. Now it seems like such a perfect day to ( Read more... ) -

This weekend was spend splitting, stacking and hauling firewood. Even with the temps in the low eighties it was not a comfortable activity. Between my dad's truck and ours we managed to get a little over a cord back to the house and we will be making a few more trips back to pick up more this weekend. The good thing is that it is all chopped so ( Read more... ) -

Seems like we are going to have a bit of summer this next week. Maybe more than one day in a row of eighty degree weather. If I hadn't spent 13 years in Texas I wouldn't be able to sympathize with the rest of the country and the heat wave they are having right now given the weather here ( Read more... ) -

I read this all the time but realized today I have not posted since August, which considering it is my birthday today that means August is not that far away. So much has happened since last August. I quit my job in Texas, packed everything I owned into the back of a u-haul and moved back to Washington, officially leaving Texas on November 1at.. ( Read more... )
