A lot has happened since I last posted in this blog. Last December I quit my mind-numbing, soul-sucking job at AEP and gave up driving through whiteouts, downed trees, and dodging suicidal deer. Now I am dodging blue-hairs and palm fronds.

Scientech is my new employer and selling software and conducting training is my job. We sell an excellent control charting software that is used by numerous Chemistry Labs. I also conduct training for power plant chemistry and get to travel extensively.

My wife and one stepson came along for the ride. My daughter stayed in Michigan to stay near her friends and I miss her dearly. My life has taken many twists and turns. I left Florida in 1992 after Hurricane Andrew destroyed my house and most of my belongings. Now I'm back, although I told my wife that we will rent and not buy. I still have the desire to retire in the mountains out west, but for now the warm sun feels great on my tired old bones.
