2006

Well 2006 has gone out like a lion. Four people that I have never met had died this month). Each one of these people had influenced me in one way or the other. Joseph Barbara of Hannah-Barbara cartoon. Much of my childhood memories is filled with one of his creations. From Tom and Jerry to Jabberjaw and many many more. Mr Gerald Ford, I don't know....ant president that appeeres on the Simpsons and played football cant be all that bad. James Brown, his music was part of the soundtrack to my life. Saadam Hussain , he made me worry back in 1990 that I would be sent in to the first oil war. I know what he did was wrong. So many people died under his rule. In the end I felt bad for him.
This week has been rather busy at work. Decembers dim Sun hanging in the air for a few short hours. The dark seeps in at about 4pm. Even though Christmas has just barley passed I am very much past it in my head.
I very much need to take vacation time this year. I know I said it last year too. I know I work way too much. I stopped and took a look at my time working in the last year. In an average 2 weeks I put in close to and usually about 60 hours in a week. Plus phone time on my cell. I have 40 hours of sick time comming to me and 4 days of vacation time that I need to use by March. Its no wonder that when I get home I eat watch tv and go to sleep. I need to win the lottery. All I want is a jack pot of about $28 million. 14 million will go to taxes and the rest I can live on and forget the world for weeks at a time. ...... I do wish for all of those that read this little corner of cyberspace the best for 2007. Hold those that love you close and think about those you can't. Peace , Mr Crane.
