Welcome

I will be upfront and apologize from the get go for wasting your time in reading my random thoughts and observations.

All blogs must begin somewhere and mine will start here, on a warm Wednesday night in May. It was relatively warm today, but not so bad that I regret my 8-block walk to work, those days are to come in the next few weeks. I have recently come back from vacation and getting back into the swing of things is difficult this year. Since getting back from Germany I have not been sleeping well and I wake up every thirty minutes from 2 AM to 5:30 AM when I give-up and go watch TV. I am a commercial credit analyst for a bank located in Chicago. In a strong bit of irony, that what I despised most through all my schooling, writing research papers and most homework in general is the primary component of my chosen a profession for the next few years. But hopefully I will become a loan officer in the next couple of years, hobnobbing on the golf course, fancy business lunches, sizable year-end bonuses. Dreams/Goals…Dreams/Goals…Dreams/Goals.

I was looking forward this evening to playing soccer, but tonight was one of those nights I just could not seem to do anything right. It was very disappointing considering how well I played Monday. But tonight it was as if I had cement boots on. Oh well there is always my Sunday game and if I am up for it my Saturday game for a little bit of redemption.

Speaking of the hot days of summer, I will list my brief list of summertime goals. You see it is almost summertime, in understanding that the living is easy, fish seem to be jumping and I reckon the cotton is high. I want to ride my bike more, read more then three books, and relax at the beach more often then not.

Well I better be going to bed, I still need to shower after my soccer tonight and it sounds as if my wife’s phone conversation about workmates with a former workmate is winding down so I should go.

Until next time…
