I thought I had a great interview last week for a job a the Hanford Nuclear Reservation. They wanted someone to do assessments of what they doing and be able to monitor and mentor subcontractors to understand the expectations for their jobs. It was great to see Corlet and Jack Thornton, Dale and Gloria, and Dave and Maria.
I looked at some homes in the tri-cities, but most of them are out of our league. Alot has changed there and it would be interesting to move back.
However, I would love to stay put because I love being able to visit our Utah kids and grandbabies.
Love
Dad

I'm Back
Since the election of 2008, I haven't been blogging because I felt that my views weren't important enough that anyone wanted to read. However, several comments from my kids indicated differently so here goes.
It is now Feb 8, 2009. I'm now a 20 hour per week marketing director for the local Domino's franchise. I still deliver pizzas, but at a much reduced rate because of my wages working as a marketeer.
We have been blessed by countless friends and family who have helped us financially. Deb and I were able to spend Thanksgiving in Sacramento with Trevor, Ellen, Rayley, Sam and Cathy. In December, we went to visit my brother Ted, his wife Lora and saw Kim and Guy Buchanon and Lora Ann and Allen Massey. We stayed overnight at Lora Ann's and they were so kind and gracious to put is up for night. We had some interesting conversations about what is happening with Ted and Lora.
I am still trying to find out why I have problems processing information. Apparently, through visits with friends, this seems to be the first step in a long, downward spiral that will eventually end in Alzheimers or as Denny Crane in "Boston Legal" calls it, "Mad Cow Disease". We are trying to get in contact with a neural psychologist in Provo to redo some testing he gave me two years ago to see if there is any more declination of abilities. According to Kim Buchanon, there is a place in San Diego that can really do a great job. However, insurance becomes an issue with both scenarios. Debbie has been working the phones trying to get information to the right places so we can be approved to make an appointment.
My optimism for a better life is running rampant. I know in whom I have trusted and in whom I have faith. Even though I don't do all the things through which blessings come, I have a willing heart.
I'm trying to be better, to be more positive, to be more organized and to lose weight this year. I've been walking more and eating less and it has benefitted me in a positive way.
I love each of my children and are greatful for the people they have become. When I hear about how the economy is affecting my children, then I began to get angry. I've screwed up with choices and I can accept that, but my children have made good choices and yet they become affected negatively from the sour economy. I wish the people who caused the problem would stand up and say, "We screwed up" and then put the controls and the attitudes in place to really help the economy. Handouts have never provided a posititve economic situation...lower taxes have. I learned many years ago that companies can hire more people and purchase new equipment when they have less taxes.
