A friend sent me this from a trip several years ago. This is Big John at the Anaheim Airport. I can't think about him, without thinking of my dad or the fact we named our son after one of his characters in a movie, "Big Jake". It is odd that he was so conservative and I am just the opposite and I love his movies so much.
It has been a long dry spell on the blog. For the four or five folks that read it, Sorry! I have been recuperating from surgery and have gone back to work. By the time I get home I am exhausted.
Since we have our new POTUS in the Whitehouse and the theme is change, I thought that change should be my theme as well. I have taken a new position as Economic Director in Stokes County, NC. Stokes is a county located between Forsyth County and the VA border. It has rugged beauty and a lot of potential. I have my work cut out for me but I love a challenge. Starting with ED 101 work, new web site, business directory and business visits. I hope I am up to it. The people seem really great and I can't wait to get started.
On the other hand, I will miss working with my board, my NCIC friends and the other folks from the area. I will still see them but not as often. We have had some good times, great successes but to move up, I must move on. If you aren't going forward, you are backing up. Wish me luck!
