9.28.08.For three years, I took no genuine pride in my labor. I was busy complaining how it sucked and I was fed up and this was just a stepping stone to something better. This year, I’m investing more time in the career- planning, execution, follow through. Totally engrossed in the labor and I feel better, cleaner, like a man of honor. It’s a good feeling. Still the same old problems after three years but at least now I’m pulling my weight.

About Newman, I admired his ability to age gracefully best. The guy was a cucumber under fire and he never colored his hair or pumped his cheeks with botox like that prettyboy Redford.
