On Saturday I had to take my wife to the hospital with a serious infection that required emergency surgery. I am on leave from work to help care for her and myself. There is a saying that life comes at you fast and that is very true. She is doing better than what she was on Saturday. I want to thank everyone who has been there for us especially the nurses and doctors at her hospital. I am glad she is on the path to recovery, but we still have a ways to go.

Twelve Years At Blood Assurance – April 14, 2026
Twelve years ago today I began my work at Blood Assurance as a Telerecruiter. As I celebrate this work anniversary I think about the experiences and adventures I have had there. It hasn’t been easy, but my work there makes a difference.

Daily Prompt – Favorite Restaurant
This question is tough because I cannot pin one restaurant down. I am a big mom-and-pop restaurant type of guy. Diners are my favorite places to eat because most of them serve breakfast all day long. However, I do like ethnic places like Chinese, Thai, Indian and Japanese. Lately I have been finding out more about Korean. I like food that is seasoned but not spicy so that is a consideration. There are several places I enjoy around my city that serve good food at good prices.
