    Another chapter opens

    ...I just accepted a job offer

    I will be consulting with a university in NJ who wants to begin a wood manufacturing focused program. I'm thinking---just maybe---all the articles I wrote over many years and the speaking engagements on this subject are seeing fruition!

    Actually, I know that is happening but it is due to many forces beyond what I did. I am just encouraged by this program, no matter the motivation.

    ......and they will pay me

    Anything that keeps your mind and body active can't be all bad .

    The pay is just a perk .

    No question about that but I'm afraid that isn't in the cards----my wife could not tolerate anything like that trip and I can't leave her on her own for any amount of time. I'm not whining, just saying

    But just thinking about it, I think I heard a cheer from the F-250 out in the barn-----it was saying take, me take me

    I could not agree more IV

    ...and Ben---I'm just happy that at 78 someone still wants me!
