OK, I’ve been so busy that I haven’t been able to update my journal! A lot has happened and I’m not sure if I should put it all in a single entry but here goes:
I’m not looking to get our of leadership anymore. I want to publicly thank Niell for his encouraging and touching words last week. You may not know just how special that was for me to hear you say just how you think of Candi and I. I realize now that I’ve been trying to do everything all on my own -and that can be disastrous! I haven’t delegated a single thing -even when there are plenty of capable people around me that would be more than willing to help. Neill and Becky have offered to meet with Candi and I for breakfast every Saturday morning to help plan out the week for the group and see where we can spread out the “tasks”. I feel so much better knowing there really IS a solution to my stresses other than quitting!
I did manage to update both the Hawaii trip photo album AND add the Burial at Sea memorial service for my Dad. You can see both albums here:

I managed to talk Mom into lending me her camera for a couple of weeks so I can try a day-by-day journal of my beard growing. I think I’ve found a decent rig for taking the same angle and shot every morning so hopefully after about 2-3 weeks, I’ll be able to create an animation showing my beard growing! I’ll probably need Neill’s Photoshop genius to align the images perfectly…
Last Sunday afternoon, while driving home, I saw that someone had put up a sign for John Kerry. I thought to myself that someone should put the words “lost” at the bottom of the sign. Funny thing is, when I returned later that afternoon, someone HAD! Luckily I had mom’s camera and managed to capture the moment:
I’m starting to get more and more enthusiastic for the possibility of starting my own business. I’ve been talking about it and asking just about everyone I know that could possibly offer some input or advice. I started talking to one of the engineers that contract my work to see if there is other work I could do. He mentioned a lady in Santa Clarita that does this very thing. “Moonlight Drafting” is the name of her company! She does all her drafting work from her home just like I am thinking. I think I’m going to hunt her down and see if I can get some pointers and info from her…
