It has been a wild & wacky ride

Well....it has been 2 1/2 months since my last post. Jennifer & I broke off our engagement, I moved out & the roller coaster began. It took nearly 2 weeks to get all my things as her parents came in for a week followed by her best friend & i really didn't feel like facing down that gauntlet. It is normal to fear for the worst(all of your stuff burned in the chimney) but people amaze you in the end. We have kept things civil for the most part & i've laid low as not to capsize the boat if you will. So....once again I am single & dealing with the opposite sex again. They still smell nice but I still don't understand the majority of them.
I have been using my Y membership like a maniac with swimming being my main focus after the Country Music Marathon almost did me in. I am retired from that crazy mess. I am concentrating on tri-athlons from here on out...less running. It is summer in Nashville & trimming down is my main goal.
OnMeWay is moving up the mountain like the little engine that could. I attended a import/export seminar at Emory University in Atlanta. I discovered quite surprisingly that i am alot farther along that I had first thought. I am still working on my business plan & hope to have it completed within 2 weeks. I have set a goal for Australia/New Zealand for mid-January 2009 right after college football season is over. 70 days to UT football by the way.
All in all this has been a trying 2 1/2 months to say the least but i'm staying focused on my VisionQuest & looking to the future. And a qoute that helped me thru this time....."I'm against marriage & zoos, I believe wild animals shouldn't be caged" a Ripism if you will. Until next time!
