Things are moving along, albeit not at the warp speed I had in my mind. I suppose it’s like trying to sprint in flip-flops—possible, but not ideal. Just yesterday, I hung out at Write Associates (which, by the way, is totally not the sinister lair its URL, http://www.right.com/, might suggest). Discovered a bit more about…

In between planning and tying up loose ends, I managed to get out to Maltby Lakes with Marcy to get in a photo shoot. Marcy was great. All I said was “ACTION” and she performed. It’s good practice, as you all know I have a hard time taking pictures of people and animals.

Just rolled in from a jog around Maltby Lakes. Spent the day on tenterhooks, waiting for FedEx to drop off my updated “Covenant Not to Sue” doc. Got it, signed it, and bam, that’s a wrap on my Sikorsky saga. Also wrestled with taxes and a mountain of paperwork for this new chapter I’m flipping…

Uploaded new pics at Bill’s Photo Oasis! Walked at Maltby Lakes, capturing swans, geese, water, and island scenes. Added some unique shots too. Check them out, rate, and leave feedback. Your opinions help me choose bestsellers. Thanks!

Alright, strap yourselves in, fellow Stratford folks, because things are about as cheery as a raindrop on a picnic blanket here at Sikorsky. That Comanche helicopter program bit the dust faster than a free pretzel at the company picnic, and guess who’s left holding the empty mustard packet? Yep, us. A cool hundred engineers got…

Well, wouldn’t you know it? Just got pink-slipped from Sikorsky Aircraft at 11 AM sharp this morning. Guess even helicopters with names like “Comanche” can’t outrun Uncle Sam tightening his belt. Feels like I just got ejected from the cockpit, with only the emergency chute of unemployment to break my fall. Next steps? Buckle up,…

This morning, I woke up feeling like a mix of tired, under the weather, and, let’s just say, not in peak physical form. I got an email from a pal who used to clock in at Sikorsky. Turns out, Doug was a piece of work to her too, treating her pretty much like I’m getting…

So, here I am, parked at my desk this fine morning, and lo and behold, they haven’t made off with my computer yet. Hence, I’m penning down this little memento. Over the weekend, this relentless ticking noise – Tic Toc, Tic Toc – was my not-so-gentle reminder that my days at Sikorsky Aircraft are numbered.…

In 2004, Coca-Cola, which had faced a contamination scare in Europe just five years earlier, was forced to withdraw its controversial Dasani brand of bottled water from the UK market on Friday. This action was taken after the company discovered that Dasani contained illegal levels of bromate, a potentially carcinogenic chemical. The embarrassing voluntary recall…

So, two thoughts are doing the tango in my brain today, and it’s quite the show. First up, the Grand Opening of my Virtual Gallery. That’s right, I’ve sprinkled some of my latest creations onto my online store like fairy dust. Feel free to hop in, have a look-see, and share your two cents. Most…

Just heard through the grapevine that a “stop work” order is looming over us, set to hit today. Apparently, we’ve got a mere five days to whip things into shape before the curtain falls. And if we’re not scooped up and re-deployed by then, it’s adios amigos! So, keep your eyes peeled for updates! Just…

Lately, I’ve been lounging around more than usual, which might be a sneaky sign of the blues setting in. I’ve been reaching out to pals and family, only to be met with the sound of crickets. It’s a strange vibe, getting the boot from your job. Suddenly, it’s like you’re ghosted until you’re back on…

Oh, the thrill of the 2004 EFTA Race Schedule has landed! Dive into the digital realm at efta.com to get the scoop. The schedule’s out, and it’s wearing the “tentative” tag like a badge of honor. We’re not anticipating a rollercoaster of changes to this lineup. However, keep your eyes peeled – as the season’s…

Well a week is over and I still have a job. Work is ultra stressful. I get headaches every day. The latest word is that we are getting a stop work order tonight. Then we will be kept around till the end of the month. After that is anyone’s guess. Well the weekend is here…
