My family is all together again and I have the love of a good dog, Randy.<br /><br />One of the most unusual things that happened was a person from my young adulthood, Sheldon K. had called me in August. We talked quite a bit for about six weeks and then he disappeared into the aether, never to return.<br /><br />I spent time with superheros and Elvis from Breezy Point's <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Bayside</span> Grill.<br /><br />My business has not taken off as well as I had hoped, but I will not give up on it. The economy is fragile right now. I am still waiting for a check for work I did for a company back in May. I probably won't see any of it but I did trade up for a "<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">Solidworks</span>" 3D program I can learn and make money on.<br /><br />I still beat everybody in Scrabble without even trying. It is worse when I am really tired and I come up with high point words at the end. I am glad that I don't play with people who are competitive.<br /><br />I am currently working at Cummins Power Generation ( <a href="http://www.cummins.com/">http://www.cummins.com/</a> ) documenting their 870,000 sq. ft. manufacturing area and will be redesigning their productions lines. I really enjoy doing that sort of work.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j5ePL2cJ364/TR6UXi3nw8I/AAAAAAAAACI/OLANWGgvEcI/s1600/Sallie%2Bskiing%2B12-25-2010.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 277px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 375px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5557042122439771074" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j5ePL2cJ364/TR6UXi3nw8I/AAAAAAAAACI/OLANWGgvEcI/s320/Sallie%2Bskiing%2B12-25-2010.jpg" /></a>I got to ski for the first time this century. I am so happy for that. I took my boys, Garrett (16) and Jeremy (13) and we had a blast.<br /><br />I believe 2011 will be a good year for me.<br /><br />I will write about it later.Not.Soylent.Green.Yethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14613533667844385696noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5229494449758461827.post-83379057657292891712010-01-24T19:15:00.000-08:002010-01-24T19:23:59.247-08:002010 will be a momentous year for me....I have been unemployed for over 6 months. I am working on three large projects:<br /><ol><li>Establish my business, CAD vantage, and make it a viable cashflow for my family.</li><li>Get my certification as associate in project management (CAPM).</li><li>Get bariatric surgery to lose weight and stave off ever getting diabetes.</li></ol><p>All this before May 1, 2010.</p><p>Quite a task for me.
