In a lifetime we have to cross several bridges. Some paved, some rocky and others old and rusty. Over the past 10 years I have crossed several bridges, some of them I helped build. I may not have burned any bridges, but I think I left a few scorched. At this point of my journey, I look at bridges in a different light. The last two years have given me a more cautious approach to a new crossing. Just crossing because it is the obvious way is not always the best choice. I may need a road map to find a better way. It may take longer, but may also become the better route. Sometimes I feel like driving in circles. In a circle I can go round and round until I see the right path. These days a person needs to look at all the crossings and choose the route that will yield the best results. A person can still market their skills and achieve substantial rewards for the effort. The biggest thing is remembering that nothing is permanent. Nothing! (except death)
Gin and I enjoyed our Sunday afternoon and evening with Patrick, Jessica, Nolan and Dean. We gathered for the Super Bowl game as well as a variety of food. I'm talking Buffalo wings, BBQ wings, pinwheel deli wraps, pigs-in-a-blanket, meatballs in marinara, chips & dip, veggie tray and fresh baked chocolate chip cookies. Oh, we did watch the Packers beat Gin's Steelers in a well played championship game. I spent a lot of time either cooking or playing with Dean and Nolan. Especially during the half time show. They call that crap entertainment? It was pure crap! There! I said it and am officially a grumpy old man. They should seriously consider letting a high school marching band provide a half time show. I'm not kidding! There are some very talented high school kids that can make that show look like Karaoke night at an Elks lodge. I think Karaoke night at an Elks lodge would be better than that CRAP! I regress.
I had a good time this past weekend with Gin and family. We're hoping to get a day with Caris sometime soon. It's been a while. I talked to her tonight and we'll be planning our next 5k sometime in March.
More winter weather on the way this week.
Be safe!
