Catching Up

Thanks for indulging me in reliving my Europe experiences. It was a very interesting trip. Some things I couldn't write about, but you got the gist of the trip. Maybe I'll find a rich American widow to take me back. Okay, so it has been three weeks since I could write about current stuff, and some things have happened. The Lieutenant Governor of South Carolina, Andre Bauer, wanted me to meet with his chief of staff Jim Miles. So, I went to Columbia and talked with him about me and what I would like to do. There doesn't seem to be any openings in his office, but it was good to meet with him, and perhaps get my foot in the door. I want to make a difference in people's lives. I also have a real talent in finding lost souls. So, here is hoping that I will be able to help others, but not in a retail vein. For several months, I have been working with my friend Joni about her trying to decide whether she wants to leave Macy's or not. She had been there for 22 years, but things had gotten pretty bad for her. They kept heaping on jobs for her, but was not getting the support that she needed. One of her good friends died around Christmas. Another got hurt. She had surgery on her wrist. Her father has heart problems. So, she made her decision, and I think it was the right one. She realized, as I did, that there is life after Macy's. There is a world out there. Yes, it is a little scary, but life is too short. Joni is a very caring person. She cares about others, and I treasure our friendship. Maybe we can do something together in our quest to make a difference, but for now, she just needs to decompress. Well, I guess that's all for now. No, I haven't seen the new Batman movie. Maybe later.
