Its been awhile......

I've been busy, and I suffer from spontaneous acute worrying. The past couple of weeks have been fairly stressful for me. My job has been pretty hectic. I've got a fancy job title, but the duties of the title have been falling by the wayside. My "Other duties as assigned" are the major burden to my job performance right now. I worry about gossip to much. I know my peers are saying things, and wondering what it is I do. As far as they are aware of, I'm not responding to their requests for help. It is quite the dilemma. For a couple of weeks last summer, I was training someone to be my assistant/helper. Her immigration status became an issue, and left before we could even all take her out for "new-hire" lunch. What is the significance? I would really like to get away from my job title. It is damn near a scarlet letter. It is a hindrance to my future development.

This weekend is the Govenor's "Texas Round-up". I was supposed to run the 10k, but my foot injury will limit me to a walk around the Capital. Maybe later on there will be a round of golf, or busy labor on the house.

Thanks for listening,

Fishing Trip

Last weekend I went to Aspen Colorado for four days of fly-fishing. My cousin-in-law has a group of guys that he has been goin with for 13 years. He invited me up this year. I cought many fish, and had a great time playing Texas-billy for all of them. It was still below freezing at night, and there was near blizzard snow the first day. I took a bunch of clothing, caps, and gloves. Here is a picture of my great catch.


Happy casting,
JR
