The Distance

So the first week is done at the new office. It's a nice place to visit but I don't want to live there. My heart is not into this job anymore. And that's not like me, I try to give my best effort in things I do. So I think the sooner can get out the better it will be for me. I sent out a few resumes this weekend so I'll see if anything turns up that way. Plus I don't think I could keep up with the car repairs. I spent $750 on the coolant system this week and now the windshield wipers aren't working. 100 miles a day on a car with 199K miles is not going to be good for it.

Scott received news on Friday that he was accepted into Aviation High School for next year. He's pretty excited about it. Sean goes there and it's my old alma mater too. Not only is it the best school for learning the airplane mechanic trade but they also emphasize their academics so they are both getting a well rounded education. It's going to be hard work for him, much harder than he's used to but I'm sure he can handle it. I also noticed the other day that he's getting to be almost as tall as I am (not that I'm a giant at 5'8"). I'm going to have to start looking up at him too soon.

Sean is playing on the golf team again this year. In fact they made him the captain of the team. His first match is on Tuesday so it will be off to the driving range today for some practice. He hits the ball well but is so damn cocky he doesn't listen to any advice. Teenagers!!

I haven't heard anything from Chris in a bit. He was going for a weekend trip to Spain. And then preparing for a month of field training in April. Due to the time differences it's hard sometimes for us to get together. I'll have to make the extra effort this week to reach him before he goes away.

I'm pretty lucky I have some good friends helping me through this time. They may not know it but they are helping, and I appreciate it much more than a simple "Thank you" can state.
