Well, things are happening.  Some good, some not, most in the middle somewhere.

The interview went well.  I don’t think that I necessarily wowed them, but I do believe that I impressed them enough to have secured the job.  With any luck, I will know the outcome by tomorrow.

That being said, while in town for the interview I met up with my little bro from the fraternity (also one of my groomsmen) and we had a bitch-fest about our shared woes.  In doing so, I got relatively drunk and ended up driving.  So that’s not good.  There was an entire section of this OD that was deleted during the 9/11 hacking that took place which detailed my arrest and subsequent problems for DUI back in 2004.  I even left the keys in the hotel so that I wouldn’t be tempted to do it, but that didn’t work.  I was/am pretty pissed at myself.  From now on, I will give them to the other people I suppose.

Sold the other motorcycle today.  Got what I was asking for out of it.  I had purchased it non-running and spent the better part of a year and a half restoring it in the hopes that Aryn would want to ride it.  It scared her too badly, so I just rode it every now and then.  I really have no use for it, but I put a lot of myself and a lot of work into that bike.  It makes me sad to see it go.

Here it is….

Anywho.  Like I said, things are happening. 

I’m reading The Grapes of Wrath right now, and a line explaining the futility of worrying about the future caught my eye.

"Up ahead they’s a thousan’ lives we might live, but when it comes, it’ll on’y be one."
