Hey non-readers....I'm back.

First things first. My prognostication that we would get an interview from my earlier proposal came true. Now let's see if I can land this job. Most of the time, and please note I said "most", I get a job if it goes to interview. I can usually charm my way in, and I'm not planning on holding back on this upcoming session. It'd be a great job for the summer that has absolutely nothing to do with our other fields of engineering practice here at PB.

The Jeep is no longer taking up any space in our driveway. Better yet, the check cleared from the guy that bought it. Whoo-hoo! Down to a mere three cars. I spent last weekend moving boxes from one side of the garage to the other trying to figure out how to get rid of stuff. There is so much pure junk out there from some of my crap I bought off of e-bay to my sister's wierd clothing (most of which I suspect was taken from my dead aunt's closet....home made and 100% polyester) to boxes of paper from Beth's old office. The temptation to just rent a roll-off dumpster and park it out front for a week is hard to fight right now. Maybe I'll actually talk to Beth about that.

My overall mental health seems to be improving. Maybe its because I haven't had any real work pressures for some time now. It feels good. Now all I have to do is get my ass out on the cycle so I can have some athletic outlet for the remainder of the year.

Oh yeah, I still want to get back into scuba with Joseph. I'm also thinking real seriously about adding Lucero to my name. How cool would that be?

Peace.

Allan K. Lucero Porter (sounds good)
