bill collectors

ugh...

Bill collectors are truly crazed. There's not one particular endearing thing about them.

They call at 8am on a Saturday morning.

They lecture.

They can be rude.

They will take ANY amount of money. Which leads me to believe that they get paid a stipend for each person they collect money from.

I realize that they are just doing a job. Everyone is entitled to make a living. But why make others miserable while doing it?

What's new

Hey!

It's your old pal Clark. It's been a little while since I last blogged. I'm not very good at this yet, so time passes before I can get back to writing here.

The Speck is running fine. I still don't have a radio...but I have been getting consistent gas mileage...around 27 to 28 mpg.

We have a new guy on the team at work. He has more experience than I do, so the CIO put him in charge of the project while I retained a corporate management position. He's the subject matter expert, so there is a ton of hope that he can right some of the messes that are going along with things. One things for sure, I already like him. You see, he has a way about him. In fact he called "she" "weirder than a football bat". In his honor, "she" will now be known as "football bat".

The kids are doing well in school and their teams are doing reasonably well for their spring seasons. Oldest has done a great job on her varsity team. The middle has done a super job on her house league team. She's played first base and pitched well. Youngest has done a super job being toted around like luggage. She's been practicing her hitting in the back yard. I must say she can smack a whiffle ball pretty good.
