Yes, I should post more frequently.
Yes, I am entertaining and you want more of me.
Yes, I'm dang busy, so stay off my back! (j/k)
So, what is keeping me busy? Is it working on my second masters degree? Is it my five kids? Is it making huge sales? NO! (well, I am preoccupied with all of these things, but they aren't what's keeping me from posting)
What's keeping me busy? It's dropping those pounds that I've managed to pack on in the past few years. After enough calls of "Thar she blows", "Yo, lard butt" and "Is that a man or a manatee?" I've decided to drop some weight.
After a couple (that's being generous to me) of fitful starts, I seem to have momentum going. I talked to one of the guys at my office about trying to get in shape as we were having lunch together last week. So, he admitted to me that he really wanted to lose weight and then he challenged me to a contest. We agreed that the first one to lose 20lbs would buy the other's greens fees. Well, within 3 days of the contest, we have 2 more guys entering the contest. The cost of losing this contest has increased significantly!
So, can I pass on the desserts? Can I push away from the table when my wife serves up a great meal? I don't know, but I do know that I don't intend to lose this contest, so I've started working out at lunch with a guy from my office. I may be short on will power when it comes to eating, but I can work out on a regular basis. Hopefully, that will be enough.
So, my journey towards not being 28% more man that I was in college begins.

Who am I?
That's a great question. Depending on your relationship with me or to me, you would probably have a different answer.
If you work with me, I'm an aggressive salesman who is on fire right now.
If you are one of my professors, then I'm a student who's eager to please and always pushing the envelope.
If you are my wife, I'm a loving husband who loves unequivocally but irritates her to no end with a frequency she'd like to see decline.
If you are one of my 5 kids, then I'm Dad, Daddy, or the Old Man.
But who am I? Sometimes that's hard to define. I'm a little bit of what everybody sees and a lot of what they don't. I've been shaped and hardened by events that have made me into who I am. At the same time, I've shaped myself through will, determination, and effort through years in the military and a childhood that was a cupcake compared to the military.
So, why do you care? I don't know, and franky, I don't care. This blog is about relating the events of my life in a way that makes sense, and if you do read, it should be entertaining.
I've got a great life, a great wife, and I'm on the move. Stay tuned for the ramblings of a father, veteran, salesman, erudite, master of sarcasm, husband, and active participant in life.
