Tomorrow I have to get up at 5:00 and head to Love Field to fly to Houston for the day. Won't get back till late tomorrow. So, wondering why I love my job huh?

Well, this afternoon I'm "working", sitting on my front porch on this gorgeous 79 degree day (in Texas in August of all things). I've got my laptop and phone so if any work actually pops up I can deal with it. Just finished a Partagas Spanish Rosado while drinking a vanilla coke and reading Tom Clancy's: Sum of all Fears. Think I hear a HdM Dark Sumatra calling me from my humidor inside!

Definately more than makes up for what my day will be like tomorrow!

Warm Texas evening, comfy chair on the deck, 3 fingers of Wild Turkey, dog at my feet, and a good cigar. It doesn't get any better!

This is my fourth time to read it over the years. Still one of the best. Yes, Teeth of the Tiger did suck and Red Rabbit wasn't that great either. I hope his next one is better!

You can't possibly love your job more than James B. I mean, he makes over 100K a year!!

Make 100K doing what?
Some make over 100K just siting behind a desk "VISIONING" things from 8-5, while some other like us Frown actually do all the work from 7-7.

I would rather make a little less, but have a more meaningful work. But I guess I would enjoy my daily smoke more than the visionaries...
