Musings and so forth ...

Sometimes we, the denizens of cyberspace, have to be arm-twisted into updating. We have to be pulled kicking and screaming out from under the rock of complacency which we have hidden under so that others may renew their peeks into our lives ......

Of course, I only said that to "gouge" a little at my friend who chided me into a much needed update of "My Voice" .... It's really a shame that it took a friendly reminder to get me to update.

So here it is almost June. The weather is getting hot (although unseasonably fair this week) and the fishing is turning on! The mountain bike trails are drying out from all the spring rain and a young airline's fancy turns to thoughts of Merger!!!!!.

LMAO

Business as usual around the workplace. Those of us who have survived up til now just keep on keeping on ..... waiting for the inevitable next round of cuts. At Satan Airways .... oops .... er .... Useless Air .... uhh .... US Airways, you can never really feel secure in your job ... or your seniority! So I try not to think, worry or dwell on the "what ifs" or the "whenevers."

Having said that, I will say that the hangar has been extremo busy lately. We have planes out the ass and not nearly enough people to work on them. Go figure, eh?
I would like to think that America West's management will swoop in this fall and make it all better .... but I keep getting deluged with flashbacks to fall of 1989 .... and "Mirror Image" .... those who were there will understand!!! *wink* *wink*

It all remains to be seen ... so why worry???

On the ex-wife front. Nothing else has really changed. I still struggle from time to time with my feelings. I still waffle back and forth between wanting her back in my life and wishing she would go far, far away from me forever. Thus it is. Maybe thus it will always be .... who knows? At least I'm not crying myself to sleep anymore. Haven't done that in ages. I still get the occasional "twinge" of melancholy at some thought or remembrance ..... but it fades into the background a little more every day. There is too much to hope for in the future for it not to.

Now ..... on to fishing .... my fishing buddies and I have been somewhat stymied so far this spring. Our favorite fishing hole, the ponds at the Catawba Riverfront Park, have become largely inaccessible due to the park closing for the construction of the Whitewater Park! We have found ways to "sneak" in, and get to our beloved ponds, but it's getting riskier and harder every time. And we don't want to get arrested for trespassing, so we've pretty much abandoned our fishing hole for now. We've been fishing the lake at Colonel Francis Beatty Park in South Charlotte and a few other spots here and there.

Everybody now, together: "If only I had a boat!!!"

LMAO

That's about all I can write about for now. My pooch Gracie is well, and my furry little brat of a cat, Scooter. And the family is all good .... if I could only get my Dad to retire, already! Grrrr .......

I'm outa here ..... things to do and people to see!!!

Remember, Keep Hope Alive, Keep Pounding, and Love Your Brother ... no matter what color!

Peace out ....
