Welcome to my new job
I’ve had two busy days at my new job. Monday was a full day of orientation. Today was my first day in the office. I had 65 emails when I logged on for the first time. The people seem quite nice. The work is going to be exciting and challenging. The company is so nice. The campus is absolutely beautiful. The company looks after their…
Brrrrr… It's cold outside!
This was the coldest weekend of the winter. It was a good weekend to de-clutter the home. We spent Saturday morning clearing out some closets and reorganizing. The big project was reclaiming out office closet from our 10 years of use as the Lutherans Concerned InfoX office. It’s nice to finally have our office supplies orderly on shelves and handy. The rest of Saturday we…
"Good" Bye Lunch
Today was my good-bye lunch at Goodyear. This is such a nice group of co-workers. Everyone showed up for my lunch at Rocknes… all 25 of us + Brett. We have never had a group lunch where everyone attended. I did not expect any gift, but they surprised me with some very generous restaurant gift cards. I will truly miss them. They were so supportive…

Brett and I took Friday off work and went shopping at the Grove City Outlets. It was a good day for that. The cold combined with just a little snow kept people away. The deals were good and we had…
REDUCED-FAT BLACK BEAN SOUP
I love a hot, hearty soup on a cold, snowy winter day. I found an interesting low-fat recipe while browsing the Beacon Journal at lunch last Wednesday. I stopped at the grocery on the way home and bought the supplies and made it that evening. It was excellent. You would never suspect that it was low-fat, high fiber and good for you. As is typical…
I quit
On Monday I resigned from Goodyear. It was difficult decision and process. I was forced to look objectively at what would be best for me at this time in my life. I find myself doing that more since I recovered from my heart attack. My co-workers are the greatest. I will truly miss them. As a mater of fact, we went out for a happy…
TGIF
I had a busy and stressful week. I had something all last week at night. So glad this stretch is over. I had a difficult decision to make this week. I made it today and hope it’s the right one. Now I need a weekend to relax.
