I can tell already that this is going to be an akward two weeks.

This morning as soon as my boss' wife shows up she finds me and says,"Chase, we've gotta talk." in a voice that sounded how a mother speaks when she scolds her child. "Ok then." I replied as we walked into my office. She repeated the fact that I had put in my two weeks and looked at me as if I were to say sorry. She then says that two weeks really isn't enough time and that she wanted me to be able to show the new help the ropes. I replied by telling her that I had made a commitment and I have to take this opportunity. She walked out in the middle of a story about how every step they take forward they end up two steps back. Save it for Paula Abdul.

I am in a good mood and am happy with the decision I have made thus far. Although I will miss Lucy, Jerry and Larry (the flies who seem to survive in this mess as well as I do). But 401 k, insurance, air conditioning...I so can't wait.

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.

The more things change, the more they remain the same.
