Time Flies

I cannot believe that March is already almost half over. It is only 2 weeks until Holy Week, 3 weeks until Easter! I have been pretty busy and that has caused my lack of writing.

I began March with a trip to Chicago to do my last class. Now I just have to graduate. Graduation is 2 months from the 18th. I had to leave a day early because of a bad snow storm here in the Cities, but I did get back on time.

That Tuesday I had a job interview at a school bus company to be a driver, so most of last week was reading the manual to get a Commercial Driver's License and taking the permit written tests. I passed 3 of 4 on the first try. Then this past Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday I attended 20 hours of school bus driver training with the company. Then yesterday, Thursday I passed my last test and then had my drug test, so yes I now have a permit to drive a school bus. Today, I had my Department of Transportation physical. If all is well, I am just waiting for the drug test results and if I can not pass that then no one can, I can be doing my behind the wheel next week.

I also had another interview last Saturday with Rockler Woodworking and Hardware, a woodworking specialty store. I just got off the phone with the Minnetonka store and they have hired me, so I begin tomorrow morning at 8:30.

Last Sunday I had my debut with the Choir and that seemed to go well. I enjoy it and I really enjoy being back up front, maybe now they can move me to the pulpit! We are working hard on music for Holy Week. All I can say is that I wish that I had taken Latin in college or seminary! Oh, well, there is nothing like learning a "dead language" unless you are Catholic and then that is what they speak in heaven! Am I right?

There is nothing new as far as the call process goes. I am still waiting and calling those who I can.

So, as you can see, I have had a pretty busy month and there seems to be no let-up in sight, at least, for now.

I hope that all is well with all who read this blog. Forgive me, for my lack of writing. Don't be a stranger, just drop a note to say, "Hi!"
