Talk about perks, my career had one of the best I can think of! I traveled in the course of business, delivering classes for my employer. I was a Senior Training Specialist for Motorola Solutions, and taught classes on a wide variety of subjects centered around 2-way radio communications. I knew that when the time arrived that I would retire, and I have. I've always said that if you can't stand the heat in the kitchen, get out! I can't handle the heat anymore. I was qualified to deliver approximately 32 different classes, but about half of those were 'Legacy' classes, and were not in demand anymore. My students were technicians, those who maintained, programmed, calibrated, and repaired large 2-way radio systems. Some of these systems are statewide, and use TCP-IP networking to allow sites to communicate with others. Some are small, traditional type radio sites. The size doesn't matter, in each case the systems must be kept operational at all times, since many of them are Public Safety Systems. So I traveled, sometimes frequently, 3-4 weeks in a row.... where have I been? Some of the places I've been (I can't list them all here, the list would be too long) are pretty interesting. 1. Hawaii - Four times, Oahu, Maui (twice), and the Big Island, Plus I lived on Oahu from 74-83. 2. Bangkok Thailand, twice 3. Frankfurt Germany, twice 4. Algiers, Algeria 5. Melbourne Australia 6. Bismarck North Dakota, Summer & Winter 7. California, especially the Los Angeles area, Too many times to count 8. Washington DC, Too many times to count 9. Seattle three or four times 10. Texas, all over the state 11. Florida, all over the state 12. New Mexico, HOME! Several times  Best Cultural And Regional Honorable Mention |
A Better Day Today One might wonder why today is a better day? Simple answer. I took Dex (Dexameethasone) yesterday. I didn't want to take Friday before going to the ER. I might have felt better and been stronger. So I waited until today to take it. It's just a once-a-week steroid to help make me feel better while takeing Revlimid. Believe me, it really helps! I'm still sleeping on the Love Seat, and will for the foreseeable future. I really feel it helps her to sleep better without me tossing and turning next to her because I can't sleep. Today though, NO Walker! I took a normal shower too. Did not need to sit on the little ench in our shower. I'm up and about dfar more than I was yesterday, but I need to be careful to not overdo it. Other than that, I want to drop a blurb for a movie. If you haven't seen it (I know at least one of you has), try and find a way to watch Electric Dreams. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087197/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_3_tt_8_nm_0_in_0_q_electri... It's from 1984, and is about someone who buys a computer, a computer that could do things we're just starting to do. And, it falkls in love with the female lead, Virginia Madsen. The soundtrack for it is far better than you might think. I believe S🤦♂️  wrote a nice review this a long time ago. But give it a shot! I donlt think you'll be disappointed one bit. It's the movie tha caused me to fall in love with Virginia Madsen. Okay, not real love, but you get the idea. |
