Where the He77 Have I Been?

Hi folks.

yeah, I know,  I haven’t been on OD in  a long, long time.

Things are fine in our lives. Work has been consuming much of my time, as I’ve taken on additional responsibilities and am getting more visibility with my work.  Especially remarkable since I transitioned last fall, the company has been good about this, and things are working out fine.

Sweety has finished acupuncture school!!!  I am so proud of her. The graduation ceremony is June 7, and she’s been invited to join a local practice. 

I’m on my last course for my nutrition diploma, then I can sit for the boards and begin nutrition counseling.

My son starts college in the fall – he’s going to Cleveland State U – it’s a bargain, and they have a fencing team. He’s excited.  He’s a very cool dude, love him alot.

My daughter is spending the summer in Paris studying art history. She’s very fluent in French, and is getting a good handle on Chinese as well.  She’s an absolute whiz at languages.  She’ll get her bachelors next May (2011).  Interesting young lady.

But with all of this great stuff going on, i feel like we’re living through the end of the world. The oil well leaking in the gulf has the potential for killing off not only large parts of the Gulf of Mexico, but Atlantic fisheries as well.  If the well leaks till August, as it may, or even longer, then I think we’ll watch the world slowly die, poisoned.  Right now, I hoping my kids never become parents, I wouldn’t wish that on any little babies, to grow up in a world slowly dying.

This Memorial Day, may we remember not only those who died fighting for our freedom, but remember us as well, and how we killed ourselves off, not in a war, not in a holocaust, but with a global poisoning caused by stupidity and greed.
