I'm back. Not really...

Ok this is my feeble attempt to get back in the swing of things and actually post a blog. I stopped writing a while back. I even stopped reading my friend's blogs. Why? Because everything changed. What was the first change you might ask? Well the Deloitte Kids moved on and away. Good luck to Nat and her new beau. Melissa? Gone too. The saddest is Mohammed. He's in Seattle now. Then our other glue to the fabric came undone. Carolyn moved to Phoenix to be with her Justin. And of course Bhutan Clan man himself, Ted, moved on to D.C. And so went to the wayside our 1 year of St. Elmo's Fire. Single people meeting and greeting for a moment only to be shifted to other parts of the beach through the tides of change. Sad? A little. Expected? Of course.

Now those of us that are still in KC are still making it happen, just at a different pace and the get togethers are just as boisterous and meaningful.

As for me, well I try to do what everyone in my position would try to do. Stay happy and moving forward. Tonight is one night I actually stayed home and didn't drink (yet) and am trying to accomplish something. Who knows what just yet. I still enjoy my job and am learning lots as I get some small victories, while examining the big picture.

Two weeks from today I go on my trip to Seattle. This will be the first trip where I haven't been attached to anyone. I'm looking forward to seeing Brian E. and Mo G. Actually before that I'll be headed to Nashville TN. Music City. Uh huh that's right. More Honky Tonk bars than KC has fountains. We (the Centurions) were told NOT to wear our cowboy hats because we would stand out as tourists. Like we won't by walking in large groups in business casual dress looking an pointing and wearing OneKC buttons. Funny.

Well I'd apologize for not keeping up with the blog thing but it's just a testament to who I am. Just checkin in....
