Inspired to post

First, my apologies for the LOOOONNNNGGGG delay in posting. What can I say, I was lazy. Sorry. Next.

Having spent nearly all my adult life on active duty in the US Army, it is no wonder that friends and acquaintances come into and exit my sphere fairly frequently. It is also no wonder that some friends and acquaintances enter the sphere for a reason.

One such friend does not yet know how he affected me, this post will be his first inkling assuming he reads it which I assume he will. Leave it to say that, knowingly or not, he really has had a strong positive influence in my life. I admire the things he has accomplished, I want to go to some of the places he's been (some not), and though we see each other infrequently (would 4 times in 10 years count?), I consider him a good friend. Anyway, he recently resolved to write in his blog more frequently. He has been posting to a blog for some time, but considered that he had been "lax" (my word, not his) and resolved in the new year to post more frequently. He made this commitment publicly in an e-mail to several friends. I had no idea he was a poster. I had SOME idea that he was a good writer. Scratch that, I knew he was an excellent writer. What I did not know was the depth of his imagination.

I admit that I have taken some time from work to peruse some of his postings, and I'll make that up to the Company later. I have chuckled, laughed, raised an eyebrow (yes, just one... like another friend of mine taught me... a skill that still amazes my teenaged children... ahhhh, I love the mystique of it all), and even done an OMG! (check www.acronymfinder.com if you don't know what that acronym means)

So, here's to you, Jervis. You have inspired me once again! I resolve to post more often, too!!
