pie in the sky dreams
grounded in to do lists can
grow oaks from acorns

So many Dreams dusted off, restored to the plans on the table – possible, doable. Shedding the day job fills me with drive to achieve those dreams.

I have Spring fever and all things are possible.

to happy endings
innocence violated
blossoms one more time

Ethan in midland Alabama was rescued and we all rejoiced. He appears unaffected – the resilience of youth.

Call me bad, but I’m glad the ‘alleged’ old man who kidnapped him is dead. I don’t understand this alleged nonsense – he took him; he had him when they stormed the bunker. There’s nothing alleged about that.

We’ll be spared the cost and spectacle of a lengthy circus of a trial. The child and his family have to relive these 7 days over and over again – once was enough.

Happy Birthday, Ethan.

decision doubted,
for a moment, soon affirmed
greener grass ahead

I decided to retire, resign, leave my current job. Today I doubted that decision for a moment, but before day’s end I had affirmation of my decision.

Things have changed here and not for the better for me. I’m sad and glad. I’m sad that the company is no longer as employee friendly as it was when I came on board, but glad to have my doubts allayed and my decision to leave affirmed.

Birmingham Bill trumps
Punxsutawne Phil for me
Spring is on the way

It might matter up north, but here in the south it doesn’t.

January 12th it was 70?and I was in shorts and a T. January 17th we had thunder snow for hours. The sun came out at 5 and melted mist of it before nightfall.

That’s winter Southern style. So, whichever groundhog is right is irrelevant down here, but my money’s in Bill.
