Updates, updates, and more updates

It has been almost two months since my last post and a lot of things has changed in 2 months To start off with, and the most notable, I ended my teaching career. After 10 yrs of teaching, I decided to pursue a new career. I was presented with an amazing opportunity to do something completely different. I am proud to say that I seized the chance and pleased with my
decision.

Jeff has also been very busy at his new job (started March 1). He is an art director on the Coors/Miller event team. What does that mean? Jeff and his compadres design the graphics for all the Coors/Miller events-NASCAR, MLB, NBA, the SuperBowl etc etc. As a result of this new job, Jeff has started supporting the company by indulging in drinking Coors Banquet. And I started drinking red wine. I think that is a sign I am becoming more mature and sophisticated.
Note: Glass of red wine in my hand. It is another story about what is in Jax's hand!

Athletics goals have also changes for the both of us. Jeff is taking a year off from competitive racing and helping/coaching me. He has been training hard for the last 6 years. It is time for a break. He has directed all his training time toward gaming. Gaming? Yes...XBox360 gaming. It is a trip to witness Jeff do things he did not have time to do before because of the 20-30 hrs per week of training while maintaining a 40+ hr/wk job. I am proud to say he already "beat" Bio-Shock and Gears of War. I would venture to say that in the next two week he will add Gears of War 2 to the list.

I am taking a step forward (or backwards depending on how you look at it and who you ask) to focus on some new athletics goals. I am very excited about what is on the horizon and the journey. Jeff has been instrumental in helping me define my goal(s) and set a plan in place that will get me there. Stay turned for updates (at least within the next 2 months).

So there it is. A 2 month update in 4 paragraphs.
Rock On

  1. I'd love to end my teaching career too.
    What opportunity did you get?

    Seems like teachers are good at everything (relatively speaking) and nothing. . .

    Congrats.
