Time flies when you forget to blog

So what's been up? Well, a lot. I own a dog. Actually, we are fostering a dog, but I know as well as the rest of my family that this is not going to end with the dog leaving back for the pound. I am not a big dog fan, but I think everyone here hopes that will change. Hey, I'll be honest, I hope it changes too. For now we have a pup who is very cute, who poops on the floor from time to time, who howls about being in his cage at night, and who is essentially a good doggy. God help me, and good luck to us all.
Also, I'm finally taking my EMT B training with the fire department. It has been a long time coming being a driver for the department, and not being certified in anything. I have been able to be helpful, but it would be even better if I could do the EMT work too, and at the the October, God willing, I will be an EMT as well. And if all goes as planned, I will be starting my firefighter training as well.

Also in the news, my wife has completed her firefighter 2 training. This was not small task. I watched her as off, and study like crazy too rap that up, and she is now among the elite who have finished this training. I'm so proud, and look forward to being able to be firefighter myself.

So life goes on. My son broke his arm and finally the cast comes off next week. My daughter completed a play she was in, and she did very well, though the play was sort of odd IMHO. I run a few times a week, and ride my bicycle a few times a week too, and am still too fat. I can't stop eating what I love, and it makes progress hard. Will I learn? We will see.

Over all, life is good. It is weird sometimes, and it is scary too sometimes, but it is really good. I don't know if I'll have a job with the company I've been with for almost 9 years, but it doesn't matter. If it is meant to be, it may change. I again turn to the higher power and see things as being as they should be. I can't see the big picture, but live will go on.

So those who read this, who know me, love to you. I'm glad to know you.

Cheers,
Dave
