Yes I am still around!

Sat, 28 Jun 2008 15:05:00 -0700

It has been awhile again. I am not very good at this posting business, but I thought I should try and keep it up to date. I took the job I talked about at United Health Care - and it was horrible. Without going into a lot of detail, the training ...

A Bend in the Road

Sun, 13 Jan 2008 11:58:00 -0800

It has been a long time since I was here. I just read the last post, where my job allowed me to meet a musician I have always admired. I was fired from that job on December 14, right before Christmas. I had an altercation with a co-worker, and I ...

Kenny Loggins

Last night my company sponsored a Kenny Loggins concert. I have always loved him - first saw him in 1986 in the pouring rain at an outdoor theater here in St. Louis. I had to work the Meet and Greet tent after the concert, where VIPS got to meet him ...

Merry Christmas!

...and Happy New Year! Well, things are looking up a bit. I started taking Effexor twice a day for my depression in place of the Cymbalta two weeks ago. I think I am doing better, but will talk to the doc about upping it to 3X a day. It has changed ...

A Pretty Good WOW Moment!

Mon, 04 Dec 2006 07:21:00 -0800

I used to sing with a group that did an annual Christmas concert, and I have known the director very well since about 1984. I had not seen him for a little over a year (long before my surgery.) Yesterday I went to their annual concert. I was standing in ...

My Weight Loss Chart Is Gone!

Sun, 05 Nov 2006 12:45:00 -0800

I knew I wasn't crazy about this new format and now I KNOW I am not because I lost the weight loss chart from Day 1 that I only had a copy of here. I am so bummed out! I should have made a copy, but I was sure that ...

Thanks!

Many, many thanks to ProteinPrincess for updating and converting my profile! While I am not crazy about the new format, I guess we have to keep up with the changin' times! Thanks again!

Only have a quick minute, but wanted to post a photo of my brother Neill and me at the family reunion this past weekend. Everyone was floored with the new me and it was a lot of fun. I will ...

October 3, 2006

Well, things are fairly status quo. Work is getting a little bit difficult to deal with - the people, not the job itself. I only have three more months on this shift, and then I will never willingly choose this ...
