Getting Started

So... am I supposed to have a mission statement here or something? Not going to happen. I'm not even sure how I'm going to use this or how often or how well....

The basic fact about me is I'm busy. I've been working overtime at job #1 for most of the days this year so far, which means I rise (but NEVER shine) at 3:45 AM, get to work by 5:00 AM and work until 3:30 PM. Then, from January to April I work several evenings a week (and at least one day a weekend) at a tax preparation firm, a job I really love. I won't name either company, but you've heard of both.

In my "spare" time I travel. About a month ago I made my third trip to Ireland, this time with my son. Last November I went to China. I write real journals on these trips. When tax season is over, I'll finally be posting the pictures to accompany the two most recent trips. I'd like to get to Spain, maybe in September, but we'll have to see how work shakes out over the summer. And I probably should be a bit more adult and responsible, and do things with my money like install new flooring in the kitchen, or a tankless water heater... and I should do more responsible things with my vacation time, like paint the hallway and clear out a couple of decades of accumulated junk from the basement and my computer room (and the small bedroom, and the garage). But...what fun is that?

My master plan is to win the lottery so I can concentrate on travel and sleep. :) Yeah, good luck with that one, right? So for the time being I work.
