Six random things about myself.

1. I’ve kept a diary for 37 years. Until earlier this year it was paper and pen. Then I started experimenting with th online google docs. Then my wife turned me on to Baloney’s blog. So this blog is a substitute for my old diary. I’m still experimenting with it.

2. I’m one of the few people who love my job. I have a commercial type job with a natural gas company. I like who I work with. I like the company. I like my customers and I love the industry. I am very lucky.

3.The older I get the calmer I am getting except for a few things. Hurting people or animals makes me angry. Vandalism makes me angry. Injustice infuriates me. My wife and I have a son with special needs and we have come to know many other parents who have children with special needs. The callousness and cynicism of our public schools toward children of special needs makes my angry and frustrated beyond words. I cannot hardly deal with it.

An oil and gas producer yelling and screaming. I let them scream. I feel like a big old rock with waves breaking over me. I don’t fight back, I just let the waves crash until they cannot go anymore. Then we can talk. Putting up with public schools when we did that with our child or hearing about the ordeals that other parents go through makes me unglued.

4. I need to be outside at least a little bit every day, no matter how hot or cold, rainy, snowy, or what. If I don’t go outside at least for a few minutes every day I get this weird since of despair.

5. I love running. I cannot run fast. I don’t run that much, two or three times a week for maybe 12 to 15 miles. I love to run outside, in the morning before work. It makes me feel strong and sets me up for the day. I run early Sunday mornings with a group of guys before church. I love it.

6. I love geocaching. Check out geocaching.com if you don’t know what that is. It involves finding caches hidden by others and setting caches yourself. I love finding them and setting them out. My son, SuperPizzaBoy and have found over 700 and have hidden 22 of them. I almost live for it.
