Today is the last day I will be here  I am very sad, but I was able to see my friend and gave him his picture  He liked it and that makes me so happy.

I had two classes today just like the last two days and they all went well.  One of them I had to spend a lot more time then before because the schedule shuffled.  But all went well.

Lunch was hot dogs and hamburgers – but good  Then this afternoon the big boss gave a talk and right after we left.  We had been at the airport for about 30 minutes and the flight was delayed and it looked like they moved me on the connection flight to get in at 01:00…  Luckily the flight ended up leaving on time and we actually got in early,  I made the original flight and got home, still late, but no where near 03:00.

Sleep now!

Today was another great day.  We had great classes, good lunch, went out with a couple of the guys for dinner – all great stuff!!

Tonight was also BINGO night.  No, I didn’t win, I never win, I believe I am cursed – and everyone says it too!!  I sat with a couple people I have worked closer too and their family and it was all good fun.  Like 4 other people at our table won by the way – HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?!  ha ha ha

After that, it was still pretty early so a couple people went for walks.  I went with this one family that has 6 kids where 4 were there.  We walked down the the river front and over this bridge over the railroad tracks and a couple UP engines were going under, it was very nice.  Then we walked around this old depot and again, bed time

I grabbed a snack at the hotel because we ate so early and now I am going to eat and sleep!

Today was the first day of the safety certification that I have a class to teach.  I actually have part of a class, not a whole one

So far things have went really well.  The hotel it is in is really nice and I have met a couple of the guys wives.  Food was good at the group lunch too.

We went to dinner at this Italian place and everyone was having a good time.  There was 10 of us at the table and we were all cutting up and laughing really loudly like we were the only people in the place  It was a good time.  The strangest thing happened and it was like – WHAT?!  Two of the guys were gonna share a pizza and asked for all meat toppings.  When the pizza came it has jalapeno peppers and onions and some other kinds of veggies and when they asked the server about it he was like “well, they threw some extra stuff on there – it’s alright”!!!!!  How in the heck does that work?  ha ha ha

Oh, we also tried a new food for me, Palenta.  It was very interesting, it’s kinda like grits with some sauce and mushrooms and onions on top.

They all went out and here I am in the hotel  I have to get my sleep!
