From the Outside Looking In…

I cannot believe another year has come and gone, and I cannot believe where I am today and the perspective from which I write today.  There is no way to predict the future and, if it was even possible, I am not sure I would want to.  This has been, relatively speaking, an amazing year.

After almost ten hours of sleep last night, I am ready to say that today is Tuesday and the last work day this week for me.  I wish this was the last day in preparation for a nice long vacation somewhere nice, but it is the last work day before I make the drive to [...]

Some people are just plain stupid and many of them are criminals or those who attempt to commit crimes. I saw an article in the news today from Fort Worth, Texas where a 21 year old man took a check from his girlfriend’s mother without her knowing and tried to cash it at the [...]
