been a while since i’ve talked about me, difficult as that might be. the past few months here’s whats been happening:
**I got laid off from the railroad in mid august. no more part time or anything, though i remain on a seniority roster and will be called back when needed. but i’m at least 175+ deep on that list and with the winter slow period approaching, it doesnt look good for me until next spring. for now i collect railroad unemployment and am doing some work for my uncle at his new house. if i remain out of work by the end of the year and the unemployment dries up, i’ll likely take whatever temp job is available. I don’t really want to make any permanent job change at this time.
**Abbie and I have pretty much got our house in order, in fact we had a lot of my family that live in town over to the house last friday for a grill out. it went well. This house we are renting is suiting us just fine, I think we made a good choice.
**I was in Chicago a few weeks ago visiting my friend Adam T. who I went to college with. Caught a royals-sox game while I was there and mostly just hung around the town, watching some sports and whatever. A nice weekend. Here in a few weeks a lot of my K-State buddies will be in town for a game in Manhattan, I look forward to that quite a bit. I definitely miss my time in Manhattan a lot.
**Day to day not a whole lot else going on and not too many big things on the horizon. I think we have one last wedding to go to (this yr has been insane for them), but outside of that its mostly just holiday get togethers to look foward to, outside of my usual interest in everything football (attending most KSU home games).
thats it for now!
