Well, I am happy to report I got a 76 on the Fire Officer test. I didn't take the course but just researched a bit. And that gets me a free ice cream from my friend Jim Q.

As I write this, I hear my 15 year old son's alarm to get up for school.

Boy they say that time goes fast, and that is all too true.

I have been scrambling to keep up with my new job, letting go of real estate without the whole world knowing, especially my old clients, and dealing with two children that have totally different mental issues.
