In early March we took a trip to Montego Bay, Jamaica. It was the annual “Best in Class” trip for the top performers of the company and I was number one in 2016 for my division so was invited to go. I’d won two times in the past but the event was previously held in…… Continue reading Jamaica Trip – Montego Bay

Rose Hall Great House – Montego Bay Jamaica
Journal Entry – 3.18.2017
It is 6:45 AM on Saturday March 18th, 2017. The past two weeks have been busy and gotten me out of routine.

I’m really glad I did it and even happier…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 3.18.2017

I…… Continue reading Journal Entry – After Fighter’s Cup
Fighter’s Cup
It is 6:08 AM on Sunday morning, March 5th, 2017. Today is the day of our very first Fighter’s Cup. It seems to be more on my mind than my son’s who is happily playing on his iPad on the couch seemingly without a care in the world. He is lucky because he is in…… Continue reading Fighter’s Cup
Journal Entry – 3.4.2017
It is 4:49 AM on Saturday, March 4th, 2017. I thought that for this post, I’d just write about the random things running through my mind lately. The first is I continue to think about the ideas put forth in the quantum mechanics book; specifically what reality looks like at the smallest of scales.
