The "Me" that you guys know, isn't the "Me" of today. In most ways I'm the same, but there have been some major changes. I wake up every day, between 5:30&6:00 am. Most days, even weekends, I cook breakfast. I'm in bed between 8&9pm, most days, now. No, I haven't done anything crazy, like start working out or going vegan, but I see work outs coming. I cook dinner almost every day. Well, I did until basketball started. There's been a lot of subway, Chinese and pizza lately. I like my cooking better, but there's just not time. I'll have to work on that.
Little description of our town, Canton PA. It's Mayberry with 3 bars. Old timey drug store. One screen movie theater. One stop light. No fast food for 15 miles, just subway. We live about 600 feet above town, it's pretty steep, because that 600 feet is in 1.2 miles. Just after you leave my house, you're looking down on Canton. It's pretty cool. There's always fog or clouds in the tops of the mountains, especially in the mornings. Even in the summer, when the highs average 88 for July and August. It's cold in the winter, but not bitter because of the lack of wind. I picked Matthew up from practice Thursday night, where he was standing outside, waiting, in his tank top. It was 29 degrees. It's different, I can't explain it, it just is. Now, -21 was bitter, but its supposed to be. On a sunny winter day, two years ago, it was 0 out. It was snowing glitter, because it was basically just frozen water vapor, and I was working in jeans, a tee shirt and a fleece jacket. Amazing huh?
I'm open to questions, or suggestions. If there's something you want to know, just ask. About me, about here, whatever.
At this point, I have no intention of moving back to Texas. Work is ok, but slow right now. I've worked myself into the top 5-8 in my entire company and I simply make too much money to move back and start over. The people here are nicer than you can imagine. The country is incredible. We live 3 miles from 40,000 acres of public hunting land, that's empty except during their 2 week deer (gun) season. So, for 50 weeks a year, it's just ours pretty much. Wild blueberries, wild strawberries and wild blackberries grow all over it. Pheasant, grouse, rabbit and squirrel are in season most of the fall and winter and spring. In late spring through mid fall, we fish everyday. We're usually the only ones on the lake and that can go til sun up. Big largemouth bass, perch, pickerel, catfish, they're all here. When you jump in to swim and look down, it's like looking at a sunburst, even though the pickerel make it a bit disconcerting. They gots teef!!!! Big teeth. But, the neighbors all swim, so it's got to be ok, right?
Ok, I guess it's time to let the dog out, light the campfire and mess around outside for a while. Hoping for some catfish this morning. If not, we'll go try our hand with the ducks/geese, again.
Later gator
