Being laid off isn't so bad. I have a lot of things to do before the next job starts. And the next thing I know I won't have any time to do them.
I get to take my kids to school and pick them up. I get to go to "Backstreet Cafe" and "Simple Simons" with my wife for lunch. Hit some meetings that I...

Absolutely. I have had trouble in the past "blooming where I was planted" It took me a while to realize as a male, that I am not what I do, I am who I am, and I do what I do-tough to learn, lots of ego-bashing over that.

actually I have been on 2 jobs since before Christmas, about a week on each, which is okay since all of the rain this winter ... I never turn one down when the hall calls .. then yesterday got a name call this one should last for a couple of months ... well the last time I worked with this company was there for nearly a year. My reality is this though ... the fact I still have 2 teens living with me there is a need to keep the medical up along with the other things a parent is required these days.

These kids are pretty industrious, you do have to guide them though, none of the kids previously seemed to have any kind of work ethic, this is how they get one, I guess.
How did you do for mudslides, rain, etc.?

I re-did today's journal, 1st pic was too big, the sheep was getting relegated to pg 2, now it's fixed. Gotta love those sheep, when I skydove in ireland, we scattered them as we landed, but the sheep shit DIDN'T scatter. 
What a great weekend. Earlier last week I took my wifes' wedding ring in to get fixed. As our relationship was starting to really fall apart the diamond in her ring fell out and got lost. We couldn't even remember how long ago it happened. The jeweler called me Friday on my way home from work, so I put my plan into motion. I called...

Thanks for the comment and yes I see where we each have a role in creating a less volatile world. May your year be one of prosperity. 
What has happened cannot be undone. But we, as human beings, have to go on with life and look to the future with a fresh mind and renewed confidence.

I looked on the canyon websiter and kevingriffin.net and didn't see anything about the retreat. Can you hook a brother up with a link? Thanks and happy new year/.
Whatever immediate advantage is gained at the expense of someone else is short lived. In the long run, causing others misery and infringing upon their peace and happiness creates anxiety, fear, and suspicion for oneself.
I have been working @ DreamWorks all week. It is a much better work situation then finishing retail stores. For one all the trades on the jobs are Union. And even though there is a push to get the job done I don't feel any stress.
