Back in the Saddle Again

Having finally found my blog and blogger voice again after a long absence, I have decided to get back to the work of putting my thoughts and opinions back out in the public eye. So much has happened since my last blog on Nov 14, 2006 .

First thing you need to know is that that date was the last birthday my father celebrated in this lifetime as he passed away on October 17th 2007. He was back then, and still is one of my heroic figures and a great guiding influence in my life. I miss greatly hearing his voice and talking with him about everything (sports, religion, my work, politics).

The GREAT news is that i know that i will see him again in an earth made new at the second coming of Jesus Christ, King of the Universe.

Work continues to be awesome ... i truly do love what i do as a technical document writer/editor and senior trainer at my company (Volcano Corporation). We make a wide variety of diagnostic devices to assist in inverventional cardiology.

i am blessed with a great many friends both in my home church, my town and county and all over the world as well. I recently started to get back in touch with alot of them via Faceboook (if you don't have it .... GET IT!!!!!).

As i look back when i started this blog i will again be putting down special thanks to different groups of the Armed Forces but i have also decided to add to that law enforcement and public safety agencies who i also believe deserve our constant and unsverving thanks for doing what needs to be done but tht no one else is willing or able to do....

As in that first blog i will be selfish and send my first thanks to the Law Enforcement/Public Safety Agency and their personnel to my local area and give a round of honor and thanks to the men and women of the El Dorado Sheriff's Department (with particular thanks to the Dispatch Center folks (yes indeed there you go Jonsey and crew). THANKS A MILLLION.

So ....with all duu respect and admiration for Sir Elton John let me just re-word one of his songs for a brief monent and say .... "the geek is back!"
