Hello to all my blog readers…I mean, hello to both my blog readers…I mean, hi Faith.  The fact that I haven’t blogged for several months isn’t really such a transgression.  I have been in such a winter’s rut that I can summarize my life in a few brief words;  my health is progressing nicely, I haven’t done squat on the house remodeling, I go to work and struggle with the same personalities, I come home and crash, and I am still enjoying my grandson immensely.  That’s about it.

We are heading towards the finish line on a major effort at work which was to implement a new enterprise system to handle operations, accounting, and financials.  It has been a huge endeavor for our small company, but when the dust settles I think we will conclude that the cost and sweat was worth it.  Today, Friday, I am allowing myself to feel like things are going well.  That inner peace is being allowed to stick its head out of the cage and sniff around a little.  I always have it on a short leash and, anymore, it is inherently cautious; maybe paranoid.  There are snakes in grass, alligators in the weeds, and hammers ready to fall but, for a little while I’m going to think things are in control and going well.  If this lasts until 5:00, I can have a good weekend and mow the grass for the first time (yech).
