Life truth

Work is a four letter word. Most profound statement ever told. Does it have to be this way? Or am I perpetually unhappy doing menial tasks with minimal compensation?

I've been employed for 40 years minus a short stint leaving career. Obligations between family and employer are often in conflict with one another.

Do we work to live or live to work? As of late it feels like I live to work. I find it difficult to embrace company objectives as my own.

Misplaced or misguided? Alignment? What are you talking about?!?

Banana man

Jesse Cole managed to turn the most boring game next to golf into an overstimulating nonstop mashup of music, baseball and line dancing.

Every once in a while

I hear a piece of music that's been around forever and it amazes me that I've never heard it before. Maybe a popular movement, but not the entire work. Just dumbfounded as to how this has been in existence and bam! I hear it for the first time and completely enchanted by the rhythms, colors, textures and tonality. The variety of textures and moods.

A rare treat at this age to discover something that captivates my attention to enjoy and delight in the wonder of something so wonderfully lush. Interesting. Emotional. Passionate.

Smetana's Ma Vlast "My Life"

Where have you been all my life?!?! The universe saved this for me at just the right time when I was primed to take a bite and savor the flavors with my ears.

Now to find full brass being exploited in the most bold and beautiful way possible.

Fetterman

Who would have ever thought that the laughing stock of 2020, John Fetterman, would become a voice of reason and integrity in the corrosive political landscape in America?

How did that happen? Will the same thing happen to zooran in 5 years?

Founding fathers

Just imagine if the founding fathers of America saw what America has turned into. What would they have done differently if they could see what's become of their grand experiment?

Consitition

If the founding fathers saw America today, what would they think if their plans.

Grant Dean

 15 years ago we met a realtor named Grant Dean.  We worked with him on the acquisition of our current home.  He used to work at a Keller Williams franchise and decided to go it alone and started his own real estate company.  Since we've moved into our house, he's been sending us hand-written greeting cards every quarter since we purchased our home.  We've received 60 cards and or letters from him since we started working with him.  

My wife says when we sell our house, we will work with him because he wants our business and has kept in touch with us since we worked with him on this house.  

I'm not so sure about that.  While it's nice to be remembered, my question is how many people does he do this for?  That's 60 mailed cards he's sent to just us.  Why does he have so much time on his hands?  If he has time to initiate "warm" client contact over 15 years, who is selling and marketing real estate?  

Seems suspect and unusual if you ask me.
