Ask not for whom the bell tolls

Well, one thing remains constant no matter where you go and that is death. My cousin's step daughter died this AM after a lengthy and ultimately unsuccessful struggle with cancer. She was in her early 40's. I never met her, but when death touches those near you, it cant help but touch you. It should remind us all that we are all here for the moment, and we can't take for granted oppurtunities we are presented with.

My day was great. I am getting into the meat of my new job. There is much to learn. I am confident and cautious. I need to learn alot abot the bowling game. As I mentioned earlier, there are many facets to it. Plus, there are alot of personalities involved. Co-workers, customers vendors etc. I am polishing up my people skills. I am aimiable by nature, but I have never been political about it. I am a stranger in a strange land, to be sure, so I am keeping my ears open and my mouth shut.
