Long Time No Writing

Greetings Success Engineers,

No Writing Explanation

I guess a few of you have wondered where the heck I went too? Well, it's a long story that I won't boar you with, however, I feel an explanation is needed for my abscence.

On August 20th I started a new job as an IT Technician. The company is about 35 miles from my home. So, here I go again, driving long distances to work. Actually, the drive does not take me through the city, so it's not too bad.

My hours each day are 12:00 PM to 8:00 PM. So, it's pretty much messed up my WA time as far as researching and writing.

My last post, Checking In, was actually written while on vacation in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. That was the week before I started my new job.

New Orleans

For about a year my wife and I had planned to go to New Orleans for a semi-vacation. So, On September 21st we left for our journey and returned on September 27th. She was actually there for a work conference and we added a few days to make it a vacation.

I don't know if any of you are from NOLA, however, if you have never been, you should put it on your bucket list.

Absolutely the best food we have ever eaten. And, the sights were out of this world. Some I can't even describe. ( guess that's a good thing ).

We took a Mississippi River boat brunch cruise on the Steamboat Natchez ( as seen in the cover image), took a mule drawn carriage ride through the French Quarter, saw VillaLobos where they film the show "Pit Bulls and Parolees", and visited many great restaurants and drank too many local adult beverages.

So What's Next For Me at WA

This is truly a great community and the things I've learned in almost a year and a half are valuable beyond description. I plan to stay with WA and keep plugging away at this when I have time.

I hope to finally retire in about 4 years along with my wife. This leads me to my final point in this post.

My wife has an idea for a business which she described to me in detail. I had showed her much of things I've learned here at WA in the last year.

I asked if she would want to join me here at WA to make her business idea a reality. She agreed, and as you can see, I have changed my profile name to CalChisH.

Her name is Christine and she was an English major in college. She is a much better writer than me, so, I figured we will make the perfect team here at WA
She will be on from time to time writing blog posts and learning the ins and outs of affiliate marketing. We shall see where this leads us.

I hope everyone has a great day!

Cal
