The Fat Lady will once again assume the position and We will see if she sings the right tune this time.
Tomorrow is the big day again. Two Tuesdays ago, the confirmation process stalled. Political Drama...no less.
See if the City Fathers are willing to go along with the Mayor and his choice for the DPW.
Keep you posted.....
I wonder if the Fat Lady will sing Ava Maria
JG isn't the Fat Lady....but he does one of the best renditions.

Hmmmmm .....................
Last night I cooked a good meal. Had folks over...!!
The night was good to a point. Had eleven folks over, all on the back porch, ate out there.
Most of the dinner guests had left. Then all hell broke loose. The friend who has been on again off again druggie, was on it again. It is a total shame that drugs do it again and again.
I am glad that when the drama started that most of the guests had left, the disturbance was even at a decent hour 1100 pm.
All because, this friend backed into another guest's car, which was owned by a young lady.
The world of drugs is an awful world. It destroys ALL. !!! This friend that I speaking of had a very successful business. He traveled to China to do business.
Now, he hasn't work in two years, had enough money to carry himself, ..... but the drugs, well Meth has consumed him, Totally.
We, the Friends, have talked to him, but to no avail. His company is now almost defunct, his rental property is still making money, but some of his apts are occupied with folks that has the addiction like himself.
All, of us meet last night after the drama was over with. We all have come to a conclusion that we are saying Good Bye to him.
We have tried, tried, so many times to help him fight his addiction. Trying to get some intervention for him, but always to no avail....He must want to go to treatment.
Our stand now is Tough Love....... We say good bye to him..... He must now either fall more into the abyss or climb out and back into the Living World.
Bye Bradly

In Church this morning for Mass.
I am not a Catholic, actually...back door. I am an Episcopalian.
My sister sits in front of me, in Chapel. We go to the 8 am service, no high smoke for us... just plain and simple worship.
We go at 8 am. We make small talk after Church and then she goes to hear a Bible lesson.
I walk home and have my morning coffee, french press no less...... and a kashi cookie...seven grains...whatever.
But I heard this morning from Father Fred this.......
most folks believe to some extent that adversity breeds character...but in actuality adversity reveals character. To reveal your character in times of stress, condemnation, .... reveals a person's true thoughts and strengths. As you carry on with dignity in Life.
Thoughts for today.....as I pass into a humid Sunday morning...after Church, on the Brick Streets on my town.

Things are progressing here rather.....well....OK.
Not much really going on. This coming week I will be walking around the Complex, meeting folks.. discussing ideas.. getting a general feel for the place.
On July 1st...which is a Tuesday...and Wimpy always said, he would gladly pay for his hamburger on Tuesday....I will get my hamburger paid for by the city fathers...or step fathers, as some would liken them to be.
Yep, confirmation will be that day.......... then its off to the races !!!
I have received the obligatory phone calls from this councilman and that councilman pledging their support... But Wimpy hasn't paid for his hamburger yet and the Fat Lady is still warming up...... clearing her throat.
On the home front ...its summer in Cen La. I went down to the place that I grew up in and around yesterday, to a court case that dealt with some family business. The brother was there...with his steely blue eyes, he didnt have anything to say to me.... but at least I did not have to take the stand for the Parish Police Jury (Police Jury is the governing body of the parish, for ya'll who are not accustom to the Napoleonic Law that governs the Great State of La). It didn't matter to my brother, who has been fighting the PJ on some land right issues. I was there and he didn't like it, couldn't stand it, and he glared at me, thru those steely blue eyes.
Oh Well...and life continues on on the Red Bricks.

So, I am now back into the swing of things... almost. I have to pass the confirmation process.... and if it works out.... I will be employed again by late June.
Just seems that I still have a few years left to provide some insight, wisdom to folks. My reputation as a good adm'star has proceed me. Well that is what I am told by my almost new employees, I met a lot of them yesterday. All 200+ of them.
So, I will keep all posted...

OK Breanne
I took the myers brigss online test @ a cost of 59.95 US Dollars, at the site you suggested Mbticomplete.com
I think it was worth it. I wanted a comparison with the free test, and I got my money's worth.
I still came back as an ESTJ both estimated and actual.
I wonder if you are really a person, or some bot out there getting folks to buy into this program. Anywho, I satisfied my self that the free assessment is just as good as the paid one.
If your a real person, thanks for stopping by my lil blog.

| ESTJ - "Administrator". Much in touch with the external environment. Very responsible. Pillar of strength. 8.7% of total population. |
I took the above test, I have taken it before I find myself as an ESTJ, but on other Jung Test or the Myers Briggs Test I have found myself as a ENTJ, so i am an E, a T and a J, its just the second phase i get hung up on S is for sensing, N is for Intuitive I think I could be both..But I am for sure an E for Extroverted, T for Thinking, and a J for Judging.
What are you...maybe you should take the test....hmmmm..

Well it was a good paddle on Bayou Boeuf (pronounced Beth)
Paddle with Va, David, and Brother.
Here are some shots of the paddle, we stayed in the boats for 3hrs and a few minutes.
I just wish more guys in our Great Frat would do outdoor stuff. Have another mtn bike now.
So I can take two other folks with me when I pedal.
Hopefully, I will get out into the woods this weekend for a pedal. Pics to come of that.
