2013 ... Looking Forward

The New Year is here and life goes on.  While the holidays were great and all the company and people were great ... time to get back to business.  We are 24 days away from leaving for the cruise and the warm weather of the Caribbean.  We have been planning and discussing what we will be doing and each time we get more excited and anxious to go.  I made no resolutions this year so I can't break any.  I would feel too bad making promises that I had no intention of completing or keeping.  I would hope some people would change and focus on what's important but, then again, that is their choice.  Grudgingly, I accept that.

Bowling is on going and a struggle.  Sometimes it feels like we are David facing Goliath and the referees are on his side.  The bright spot is we bowl against a few fun and exciting people whom we have come to enjoy over the years. No youth bowling this time.  After the frustration last season, I decided to not bowl with the kids.  Yes I will miss the fun and action but relish at the lack of drama and frustration.

Work continues at its own pace.  Would I change it if I could, yes!  Will it change on it's own?  No, not any time soon.

Everything is booked and scheduled for 2013 national Tournament, so now all I have to do is wait until it is time to go.  I am looking forward to the train ride and its many surprises and staying once again at the Silver Legacy in Reno.  To seeing old friends that I only get to see once a year.  I am amazed how old they have grown these 23 years.  A few have gone to meet their maker and they will be sorely missed but not forgotten.

My bible study on David is great and almost done.  I have learned a lot but that is a topic for another day.  Our Church has its big vote next week and that should prove interesting and mildly challenging.
