Next stop, anywhere but here.

I'm hot. There is a horse fly the size of a pigeon buzzing around my office. I need out...Fast.

Somewhere out there is a office with a window and air conditioning. I know it exists because I had one about a year ago, and for some reason decided to quit that job. There is also a phone that doesn't sound like we are in the middle of a war zone and colleagues that leave their problems at home, well at home. If you know of that place email me.

I have applied at several places, one of which is a position I would LOVE to pieces. I haven't heard back from anyone yet. I did the call backs and the whole 9 yards, and nothing. This leads me to my next big thing, which is a countdown.

The countdown starts now, and ends when my lease is up. It's pretty simple actually. I am going to start looking for jobs anywhere (in Nebraska unfortunately until Jordan's adoption is official). If I don't have a job here by the end of my lease which is in October I believe then we are going to move either back to Omaha, or to another city for a new start. Hopefully by that time the adoption will be final, and we can go anywhere.

I really love Colorado, and from what I hear there is a pretty lucrative market for a designer to make a living there. I also love the mountains and skiing, so that is my first choice. Other than that I would head directly to one of the coasts... Eventually run into someone famous who would in turn spread their famous germs to me and then I will start my acting career. Sounds simple enough.

The ever changing, never ending list.

I hear a lot about bucket lists. I dunno, maybe I have one. More of my 'lists' are current lists, 5 year lists, 25 year lists...but I guess they all could be bucket lists because we don't know how much time we've got at the dance. Over the past 2 years my wants have drastically changed. I've been focusing on simpler things, true things. Not reaching so much for more, just trying to enjoy what is here more. That goes for family, friends, opportunity, relationships...not material things. (Except I really really want a canoe or kayak so I can get out on the water soon) Is it possible to make a list that won't change?  Is it possible to remain true to the values of a 34 year old father, when those very values seem to have shifted based on life experiences? Are the items on my list too specific? Maybe... Love Honesty Compassion Health Fun More to come on this one I'm pretty sure.

Take us out to the ball game.

Last night we ventured over to the Explorers baseball game after dinner, it was great. Jordan talked to the X's pitching crew out in the bull-pin for a while, and they ended up giving him a ball. He's such a sports guy! The pitcher that gave him the ball said, "Can you give it a throw?" and so he did...over his head out into left field! Of course my diva Bell had more fun doing spins and drinking a slush, but that's all good. I love my family.
