Writers Block

I have been struggling lately with my blog, because I don't know what to write about.  I guess, I have some what become a numbers whore.  I look at the stats and wonder why people read more post over the other?  Most of the ones that have gotten more views, are tagged personal.  I thought my list post would be interesting, and maybe generate some comments about what others found as there favorite, but that did not happen.  And I do not know if me talking about racing is really that interesting or my past vacation.  But then again I have to remember that I am writing this for me, not everyone out there.  I have had a few that have said they have enjoyed reading my blog, and it is not just Bev (who is a little bias, but that is OK!). 

So I need to finish of the racing years, which only two more blogs.  And I have to figure out how I am going write the vacation one.  They have become every emotional for me, so it has taken a little bit more time.  I will be writing more about my family.  I really have not sat down and recorded my relationship with my grandparents.  And there will probably be more post about me and my mom.  And there will be a big one in the near future and some of you can guess what that one will be about.

But thanks again for reading even though some of them are boring, they mean a lot for me.

No one really knows the really me!

After having a interview with a church leader last weekend, I am tired of people assuming that they know me.  That I keep on being told, I am make poor decisions in my life, when they have no I did what I have gone through or what I am dealing with now.  Really did not need this in my life right now, when in just a few weeks I come out of training and start my normal schedule for the next few months.

Feeling left behind

Over the past month I have been to two baptisms, two farewells and a home coming.  It reminds me of what I do not have in my life, children.  I also have had my 44th birthday, which I spent on my own.  My marriage of 22 years is gone, and I really have nothing to show that I am here. But I have been living some what an oddity in the Mormon Church.  Having been married for so long, with no kids, you just don't get the feeling that you are part of the church family.  I have set in many a Priesthood Class, hearing the teacher tell how special it is to be a father, and how closer to God you are.  I really have not made a lot of friends in these wards, because I have no  kids that are in the same Primary Class, Sunday School Class, or Mutual. It even feels like the newly married couple, when they do get pregnant, that they are now one up on me. A few years ago, our Ward did away with the Family Camp Out.  But what stayed were the father/daughter and the father/ sons camp outs.  For

My Political Life.

In 2008 I received a degree in Political Science from Arizona State University.  When I was think back in high school what I would major in, it was down to history and political science.  I did not see very many career opportunities.  With political science, I could see myself serving in the Government.   I really want to work for the State Department, hopefully in an embassy some where around the world.  Plus I always had been interesting in politics. In 1976 I wrote then, new elected Jimmy Carter a letter, saying so much congratulating him for becoming the President.  OK,  I was seven, and I thought it was great that a guy from Georgia, at that time the state next door to Tennessee, was President.  I got a note back from him, thanking me writing.  OK, so the signature probably was done by auto pin, and some how a chocolate stain got on it, probably from a fudge bar, this is still one of my priced pieces. All through school, I wanted to serve as one of the class reps to Student Co
