Life is a "fun vampire"

So, while I wanted to be dedicated to posting a blog everyday, unfortunately the circumstances of life keeps getting in my way.

I love my little family and find solace in the world that surrounds me. I do, however, wonder where life might have taken me had I selected the "other" path.

The date is found in the spring of 1989. I am in the Spring semester of my post-graduate year at Hotchkiss. I have discovered myself, and discovered what I could accomplish on my own without the support structure that I left behind 1,000 miles away. What if I had elected to play football at the University of Rochester in upstate New York that Spring rather than giving into my fear? Where would I be now? What would I be doing now? Who would I call my friends and family?

It is ironic that one decision, one mere moment in time, can effect the time line that exists as the remainder of my life. The fact that in one night, I so dramatically altered the direction of travel that resulted in where I am today. In one decision, I carved out what would the future would hold.

Well, I guess I may have had too much to drink this evening ... or I did not drink enough. The deep thoughts are making my head hurt. Maybe it is the screaming children. I don't know -- just know that there is one week less in my travels toward the big 4 -0.
