This year it almost feels like spring in February. The weather has been most unusual this winter, there isn’t a soul around who isn’t ready for the real spring weather to get here and stay for a while before the severe heat of the summer kicks in. Since we have had so many days that have been in the 50′s, 60′s, and even a few 70′s there have been a tremendous amount of motorcycles hitting the roads and enjoying this freakish weather that could change in an instant and go straight to hell in a hand basket.

I have to admit that the closest I’ve ever been to anybody in the Advertising business was watching Darren, Samantha’s husband back in the 1960′s TV hit show “Bewitched” I know that sounds pretty lame but it’s true. I know a lot of people that have been, currently are or are planning being in some pretty unique and unusual employment situations, but certainly not all professions have crossed paths with me, yet anyway. Not sure what the future holds for me but I do believe that I have a good long and healthy life time ahead of me, with many adventures still out there with my name all over them!

Anyway the whole reason I bring up up Advertising Agency issue is because my younger sister is becoming serious with a young man who works for a pretty good sized Advertising Agency in the next town over and I’m finding a hard time finding things in common to talk with this guy about when we have the opportunity to visit with them. He is nice enough, seems to have a decent head on his shoulders from what I can tell so far. He hasn’t been married before, has no known children from previous relationships, which are two things that are hard to find in young adults these days. The thing is we really don’t have a lot in common, other than the basics. We don’t know the same people, don’t go to the same places, I’m into sports to a certain extent and he could care less about anything other than golf.

The wife says that it will be just a matter of time for some people and not to sweat it too much, which I’m not. But if there is something that I can read up on or talk with someone about in an effort to make things a bit easier I’m not against that one bit. I’m sure the Internet is full of all types and varieties of advertising, a bit overwhelming actually, I’d rather read a book about it or something specific like that. That is a thought maybe a book from the library would help. I haven’t been there in a while, but I still have my card in my wallet. Something to chew on for now.

I have noticed a tremendous amount of prison related TV shows being on MSNBC, especially at night time and in the wee hours of the morning, when I wake up in the middle of the night and can’t go back to sleep. I have been experiencing sleep issues that don’t seem to be getting any better, in fact I believe it is getting worse, so I’m watching a lot of late night, early morning television these past few years.

I have learned a lot about the various prisons all across the country. I can only hope that more people see these program (suck as LOCK-UP RAW) and that it serves as a deterant for landing there for a good many people. I like to believe that this is the main purpose of these entertaining and educational programs, not just for us to get an inside glance of prison to help with some of the curiousity that we all experience about life behind federal bars.
