“You are going to feel like hell if you never write the stuff that is tugging on the sleeves of your heart — your stories, visions, memories, visions and songs. Your truth, your version of things, your own voice. That is really all you have to offer us. And that’s also why you were born.”

Work Week

This week I have returned to a routine of working each day. This has required change. A test for me. I think I’ve done well so far. I’m getting up earlier and have managed to get in my exercise, although reduced to take in account my hours at work. My hours 9:30a to 5:00p give me time for reading and meetings or chores.

I am enjoying my work experience at U of L. It is somewhat of a shock to enter the world of academia. Although, I worked for ACU years ago, I  had forgotten what it is like. I’m not talking bad just different. I’m learning a lot and at this point it seems that I am able to contribute.

We are going on a lunch cruise on the Belle of Louisville with our caregroup tomorrow. It is our first trip on the Belle. You’d think someone who has been in Louisville as long as we have would have been on the Belle of Louisville.

Back to Normal?

Our Dish Network was repaired today so we are back to the normal background noise of the TV. At least I will be able to go to sleep to David Letterman’s monologue.

Off to Work

Today I go to the University of Louisville to start my temporary job. There is a bit of irony in that it was 45 years ago today I was hired into Ford Motor Company. I began my Ford career at the Nashville Glass Plant. Besides the irony of the date, as I was hired at Ford because I knew someone, so it is with U of L. As they say, it is not what you know but who you know.
