Soon it&#8217;ll be Halloween, then Thanksgiving, then Christmas. All in the next 100 days. The stores will start stocking Spring attire soon. Our neighbor has had her Halloween decorations up for a good two weeks. Costco has had Christmas stuff for just as long. These days things come and go fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. B&#8217;s wife told him not to make any rash decisions yesterday as he too is experiencing questioning of what&#8217;s it all about. He told Lori he&#8217;s got about 5 years left in him to work and then asked much longer she would work. She said, &#8220;not that long&#8221;, and then he replied, &#8220;well, when you&#8217;re done, I&#8217;m done, as I can&#8217;t do this without you&#8221;. That&#8217;s a big compliment if you think about it. It&#8217;s natural to question your role in this World and how you&#8217;re spending your life, especially when someone close to you passes away. We&#8217;re all conditioned from birth to follow a preset path of going to school, getting a job, working every day your entire life, and then retiring when you&#8217;re basically too old to really do all the things you&#8217;d like to do, and then you die. You have to admire those free spirits that take their own path. Sure, you have to make a living to support yourself, but to what end. I think the real question is are you doing what makes you happy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On another note, we tested our water and it&#8217;s fine except it&#8217;s as hard as it can be. I have a plumber coming today, and we have a water softener in the mechanical room, so we&#8217;ll see what&#8217;s up. We always knew our water was hard but didn&#8217;t know how hard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ty works today at 7. We&#8217;ll head to the gym at 6:30 or earlier so Lori can get to work. With luck, the papers on my big deal for work should be signed today. Lawyers are always a roadblock in getting any deal done quickly. Knock on wood that everything is fine and no last-minute surprises pop up. Not sure if you&#8217;ve seen the movie Money Ball with Brad Pitt. It came out years ago, probably 20, and is a baseball movie where he builds a winning team off analytics. Well, I&#8217;m basically doing the same thing with the wine business. You can&#8217;t argue with numbers as facts are facts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More shootings in Denver last night. I read where Denver is more dangerous than LA or New York. Doesn&#8217;t surprise me. It&#8217;s all due to the leadership or should I say lack of. So sad what Denver has become. 5:44am now, sun should be up soon, along with Ty. Time to get moving. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>God Bless.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Only been two days but the season is here.
