A change is always good....

Did you notice that the name changed? Probably not. But there has been a change.

The prior name just wasn't snappy enough. Little Brother is still on a quest for the BBB and another brother has a page for the family and one for his work and little sis has a nice family page too. But lately my page seems to be the "rants of an old man".  I'm not that old... yet! I still bust a gut at watching Mel Brooks movies and don't bother me when I'm watching Casino. My older daughters sigh when I want to watch Star Wars for the "millionth time + 1".

Let's see, where was I going with this?? Not sure really. Hmmmm.
Oh yea... change is always good!

Recently I was able to remove myself from doing nothing all day long to doing something part of the day. For the last several years, I have been volunteering with the Sate of California Office of Emergency Services (now California Emergency Management Agency - CalEMA) with emergency communications. I have a hobby that centers around Amateur Radio. I learned in school from a wise instructor that the best job you can have should be similar to your hobbies. Well, I finally found it. Change. I work for that same agency that I volunteered for for so many years. I was busy as a volunteer, but I'm even busier now. Change.

My little brother is about to go through a change this week and that change will change his life and his best-est best friend (don't you just love the Beckstrand vernacular!). I think though, that he will have to change the description of his blogg too... like, the quest for the perfect crib! LOL!

Seriously, I wish my brother all the best and I'm looking forward to meeting his Best-est Best Friend!

Change. It's what we live for... It happens whether we want it to or not... We need to make the best of it anyway!
