Quarter of Six

So for the record, this is "the boy." One of the nice things about getting up at quarter of six is that the boy generally does not get up at quarter of six. Don't get me wrong, my wife and I love the boy dearly but as anyone with small children can attest, you should get a little peace and quiet when you can.

Quarter of six is a time when I can catch up on a little homework, check my sports scores, or even do this. Today I have about fifteen minutes or so before I have to start getting ready for work. I have accepted a position within my bank about a half hour north of where I live. Now I cover really the central third of the state so having both a promotion and a clearly defined home will be nice. The only minor downside is I will cut in to my "quarter of six" time as I will have to typically leave the house by 7:15 or so. I really am looking forward to being a manager of my own location so with that goes some minor inconveniences. My philosophy is, if I have to work for 30 more years I may as well make an effort to climb the corporate ladder.

The Blog 2.0

Things a blog is unlikely to do for me;

1. make any money

2. make many friends

3. make me famous

4. combining 1 and 3, a blog is also unlikely to catapult me to a lucrative writing career after being "discovered."

Things that a blog is good for;

1. A constructive outlet to let one vent what's on their mind and a socially acceptable bit of self-centered vanity.

It's OK to blog, your's isn't likely to be any worse than mine.

So my wife and I live in a modest house in central New Hampshire (that's the state near the top right corner of the map, assuming you know how to hold the map). We have an almost three year-old son, affectionately referred to as "the boy." I am for the moment a full time student (four more classes) and a full time employee at a local bank. My greatest passion is my family (yes, really) eight years in the Army gave me a sincere appreciation for what really matters in life. I do have normal interest as well including politics, sports, and business (my major, B.S. in Business with an emphasis in Public Administration).

After I finish my bachelor's I am considering going straight into a master's degree at Plymouth State. Thinking about another two years of school makes me tired and Robinson Cano just pasted a home run to give the Yankees a 2-0 lead over the Orioles so maybe I should publish before I get to Debbie Downer.
