Ok, last night; I mentioned that I have been “elevated” to a new level of “blogdom” but, I’m not real sure if I’ve been elevated or drop kicked!

I just got a call from a buddy who is down in Florida. The Temp is in the upper 60’s and he’s walking the beach in shorts.

Almost a week ago now (last Monday November 29th) City Engine 6 caught a fire. Now, that in itself is not news … those guys catch a lot of work. What is news is some of the circumstances surrounding the fire. I am not going to “point fingers” here but, I think there are some VERY serious issues that have arose ...

I mentioned in the last post that it’s snowing here in Va. and that has me in the Christmas mood! I can’t wait to go to the Mall and let Santa’s little helper sit on my lap. Ummmm… errrrrrrrr… wait…I mean I can’t wait to I sit on her lap. Ahhhhhhhh…no,  I mean I can’t wait to sit on …… ...
