Hello.  It’s been way too long. Nearly a year. No way to run a blog, i know.

But i been really busy.  Remember my 12 hour job w/ the hour commute? Still there.

Also helping remodel apartments w/ my son-in-law.  That takes care of all my free time.  And just in case, my job is at night, remember?  So on all those “free” days (read: everyday) many times i sleep them away.  Truly, there ain’t no free lunch.

In other words, my body clock is so screwy that its hard to use the days, because i am now a nocturnal creature.  I have always been somewhat like that - easy for me to stay up at night.  But now, it’s often hard to stay up at day.  And to sleep during the day is pretty weird too.  You must have dark or it’s no good.  If the room is light you can only sleep for a short time, then the light wakes you.  The dark blue blanket over the window gets me there.

Well enough about that.  I have news - just added three categories:  HVAC, Food and Gluten.  Strange combo you say?  True enough.  For those who may not know - Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning = HVAC.  My life of employment has been here.  I will write more on this.

Food - one of my good friends at work is a food guy.  He attended a really good chef school and ran a deli business for a number of years.  He has a great talent with food, and love for it.  It’s really funny, often we speak of food, and he will always say his mouth is starting to water.  So hopefully my blog will incorporate food items and recipes from the “Mystery Chef”.

Gluten?  What is that you may ask.  Well is a sticky substance that naturally is in wheat and some other grains.  So what?  So my wife is allergic to it.  There are degrees of intolerance to the stuff.  Some folks are bothered by it enough that it is almost like a poison to them.  Most are less so.  And the medical community and society at large are relatively ignorant on the subject.  Although many restaurants are starting to get with the program.  Yup, attach dollars signs and people take notice - good old American commerce is still alive and well.  I will attempt to get my wife to write on this issue, or help me with it.  She is somewhat of a local expert (had to become one of necessity).  Many who have this issue may not know it, and wonder about their health issues - why can’t the doctors figure out what’s wrong?  Listen, don’t get me going on that one!  But just imagine if you couldn’t eat anything with wheat - no bread, no bagels, cookies, no pasta - sounds a little impossible doesn’t it?  Well once you get the hang of it, it’s not so bad.  There are substitutes for wheat flour (rice flour combinations) and other ways to go.  But enough for now - just hopefully you will see some pieces on that subject here.

I will start using my “can’t sleep at night on my day off” time to blog more.  The long dark winter of no writing has (hopefully) turned to spring.  Wish me luck.

HI - Yes i’m still here.  By here i mean living.
Still alive but not all that well.   Still at the parts place, boss still wants me to sell and i don’t got no sales DNA.

actively looking for another tech gig

Truly there is no greener grass, though it always looks greener.

I’ll try to be more faithful to the blog thing.  Later.

Well not in the air. It’s sort of a fourth dimension thing. Actually what i meant to say is i haven’t checkd in in a while. Been too busy. That tends to happen this time of year. It’s a good busy though. The usual holiday fare - food, family, fun etc.

None the less, the blog has been neglected. Things are still very good. I don’t know how to increase my sales to where they (should be?) but the guy who has done it in the past can’t convey to me how to do it. Progress is gradual but in the general correct direction - up.

I still don’t know what i want to be when i grow up. Of course i have been saying that for years. Only because it’s true. Many people are like me in that respect - they come across a job that pays the bills, they get a few more bills, maybe some kids or extra cars or what ever, they work harder at their accidental career, get more pay and the cycle keeps going and they find they spent their (job) life at something they never planned and didn’t want to really do. That’s why they call it work.

So at least i have verbalized most of my life that there must be something better, something i would really like to do and get paid for (handsomely?) So time flies in more than one way - short term and long term.

Well hope all is well with you - Merry Christmas! I will try to be more faithful to the blog, and to have something to entertain you.
