Take Your Brother to Work Day

I have just returned to the splendid little home of brother Aaron and his lovely fiancé Danielle after…a day at work? For some last minute bonding time, and to help Aaron speed through the day, I helped him out at work. I guess today was ‘Take Your Brother to Work Day.’ I was an Anheuser salesman today, despite the fact that I quit my job with the Anheuser distributor in Johnson and Miami Counties a week and a half ago. When Danielle is ready, the two of us will hop on the road, with Aaron an hour or two behind.

Tonight will be sort of a grand hurrah in the Kansas City area. The brothers and Dad will be joining me and a group of friends at the bars on this evening. Talking of times of old, times of now, and times of the future; there should be some pleasant bonding.

My Difficult Goodbyes

So on my recent week and a half trip through the Midwest to say my goodbyes; I actually said very few goodbyes. I am bad at them, and my apologies to those friends I never gave farewells to, never hugged goodbye. Thinking about it on the road during the day and night, I have realized that this kind of goodbye has never been on my battlefield. Maybe I avoided them in hopes of there never being any real departure, or separation. As I think of it now though, it may be difficult for some of us to reunite...but I guess life is filled with difficulties, all of which are nothing more than additional challenges to conquer.

With these recent understandings I have decided that it is of importance that I give some phonecalls and send some messages to some individuals, to give my personal feelings. I am leaving in about eight days, and I have still not come to a complete realization of who I am leaving. There lies a great adventure, and I plan on taking you all with me in heart. Thank you and all the best.
