Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For

 I still haven't found it - a job.  Last Thursday I had a great interview with the CTO of a company I really wanted to work for.  It went well, I thought, but I got a "Thanks but no thanks" email on Friday.  Still haven't gotten a decision on the contract proposal we presented to the USDA Food and Nutrition Service on Sept. 2.  I'm still applying, getting very few responses.  It's very discouraging.  It sometimes feels like a person without a job is invisible.  But I'm still hopeful that something will come through.  I have the experience, the education and the desire.  Just have to have patience.

On a lighter note, here's what a dinner feast in the trailer looks like - lettuce wedge salad and Trader Joe's veggie panang curry.

 There are millions of blogs, articles, and posts about The Great American Road Trip.  But there's one aspect I've never seen discussed.  Often The Great American Road Trip isn't undertaken just for pleasure and adventure.  Often it's born out of necessity.  Someone or something needs to get from point A to point B, so you plot a route, find a vehicle, stock up on snacks and go.  We undertook such a road trip this summer.  My brother-in-law and his wife needed to get two vehicles and a houseful of goods from Utah to Fort Worth, Texas.  They rented a 26 ft. Penske truck and we took off.

My First Day

Today was my first day at school. I remember watching older people go to school when I was in college. I wondered what that would be like. Well, now I'm here to tell you. Institute: We studied about Jesus. There's nothing better than that to start the week. Visual Culture: What is it like to be an artist? What do we aspire to with art?  The teacher is a sculptor. He said when he went to school here years ago, there were no sculpting classes. He had to learn sculpting from two watercolor teachers. He decided he wanted to help others so the path they take in art,  won't be as embarrassing and hard as the one he did. Who wouldn't want to learn from someone like that? Thank you, Brad Taggart! The gym: Chuck and I braved the gym. There were young, handsome strapping men and women there. We overcame our fear and did our wimpy workout. Those younguns can't help but admire us for trying.  The RV park is cooling off. It's been extremely hot. Luckily, we're in a p...
