Running around like my ass wus on fire and my head a catch'en:
Thought for the Day:
Certainly, travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living. Miriam Beard
The Story so Far:
Well dear reader, its been some time since I have had the time, will and ability to post. So, some up dates are in order.
Friday last we had the services for my grand father, I had the honor of delivering the eulogy. Which was one of the most difficult things I have ever had to do, but I pulled it off, perhaps sometime when its not so raw I will post what I wrote. Suffice to say, I took my fathers death better, my grandfather was after all a great man.
After the funeral, I sadly had to hit the road. When I say after the funeral I mean right after and I have been on the road ever since. Today is my first day back in the office and I am only here till noon, then once again I am off traveling the highways and bi-ways of this great state.
A brief list of the places I have been to in the service of my fellow man include: Bluffton. Syracuse, Gas City, Terre Haute, Bedford, Shoals, Princeton, Owensville, Peru, Kokomo, Clinton, and Scottsburg. Oh, the many wonderful things, the many wonderful people I have encountered in my labors.
I am getting to be well known by local law enforcement, and distinguished members of the bar, in these towns a villages. Be warned, Governor Mitch Daniels, JQP esq. might just have to whoop yer’ ass come next election.
The sweet and loving Mrs. JQP has been finding plenty to keep herself busy while I am gone.
I am thinking about starting a blog just on places to eat in Indiana, and odd thing I see along the road, say for instance the village of Young America (yes, that’s its name, I had to stop and take a picture on the sign) or say the old bombers from the 40’s and 50’s sitting out at the old Air Force base in Peru. Yes, dear reader, I can tell you where to get a good pork tenderloin, bowl of chili, slice of pie, in 72 counties.
As for excitement, I have not found any fun and nasty strip clubs, but I was involved in a high speed chase this week (FYI its as much fun being the chaser as being chased), after eating at an Amish restaurant on a lake. (Yes, it has been an interesting time). While my Bible sales are lagging, I have found that my trainings have been both well attended and well received by the members of the public service community.
Plans:
Well, I am heading up north today, followed by a mad dash south. I have a training on the Ohio river in the morning, and then home for the weekend.
I am in “Matt the Cop’s” Wedding Saturday, so I need to be back up here for the rehearsal Friday night. An early congratulations to him and his bride. I was back in town last Saturday for his bachelor party. And dear reader what a time that was, Mrs. JQP and myself ended up in the back off a limo with another couple. Let’s suffice to say and nudity, alcohol and extreme sex acts were a factor. So, at some point I do need to go to confession.
Todays Bill:
"Then must you speak Of One that lov'd not wisely but too well." --From Othello (V, ii, 343-344)
Self-Care and/or Lack there Of:
My flower thinks I need some down time, she is right, I have been burning the candle at both ends this month. I am trying to get as much done before my surgeries next month. She brought up the point that I have not even had time to morn my family’s loss. Well, I think I will have plenty of time for that when I am in the hospital.
I find myself, missing those who are dear to me (those recent those from long ago, souls that touched and knew each other) longing for a touch, a word, a conversation, and feeling an empty spot in my heart….
All. In all…what a long strange trip it had been and continues to be.
