Hello Out There

I really appreciate all of you who still check in on my rarely updated blog. I thought I’d sit down for a few minutes and try to write something new. It’s been a busy week or so.

Last week my 92 year old grandfather passed away. He had lived a full life though and we’ve all been very lucky to have him as long as we did. The service wasn’t terribly sad since this wasn’t exactly unexpected however it was touching and brought together a very diverse group of people. He had been in an assisted living home for the last 10 years or so. They worked it out so that the night shift came in early and the entire staff from the day shift attended the service. He is one of those people who actually thrived and enjoyed his time there. And they enjoyed him as well.

To make a long story short, my GAP insurance covered the difference between what my insurance paid and what I owed on my ex’s car that she lent to a friend (who didn’t have a drivers license) and was then totaled in an accident. I’m so going to get dropped by my insurance company though, I just know it.

I have a more thorough understanding of the bail bonding process. No, it wasn’t me, I bailed someone else out.

I got a call on Monday from a recruiter to say that a local company wanted to interview me for a position. I interviewed yesterday and the recruiter said they really liked me and I should expect and offer by early next week. This is good, actually great news but things are just never dull around here.

I could really use just a few minutes of dull.

sorry about your grandfather. My grandmother, also a strong character, died a couple of years ago at 92. Even though it was not unexpected, it was sad, like the passing of an era. And I thought, all those memories, just gone. Well, except for all of her boxes still in our garage.

Condolences also on the car, and good luck with the insurance.

Just checking in. Thank you for the update... it sounds like your grandfather's funeral was a testament to a rich life with lots of connections.

Hope the insurance matter works out. Good luck with the job offer! And I'll drink a toast to "dull."
