As I sit here stuffing envelopes at working thinking, again, about how a decent computer program or a well trained monkey could be doing my job. It's a little tough to swallow knowing that you are wasting part of your life away, but over the past few weeks I've had a renewed sense that I'm truly doing nothing where I am, and that God knows that. He knows my struggles, my desires and the passion that burns inside me to do something so much bigger than myself, and most assuredly bigger than stuffing envelopes.

Big props to my wife today, she took one for the team last night. She was already on her way to a night of long slumber when I called and told her I had invited some people over for a visit. In retrospect I consider it Husband Lesson Learned, tell her before I invite people over, and not after while they are like ten minutes away.

The high school lacrosse team I coach began practice yesterday. It's going to be a great year to be an Outlaw (our team name). I'm very excited at the thought of the upcoming season and I think we could do very well. The other guy I coach with looked at me yesterday while our guys were taking a lap and just said "look at all those guys". We have had issues with extremely small teams in the past, so to see an entire team of more than 11 people running around the field is something that is exciting to everyone involved in the team.

Well my envelopes are calling, I've got over 100 still to do and I've been dragging my feet big time doing these, so I'm going to try and actually work hard and finish them today. It's just very hard to motivate yourself to work hard, when the work you are doing is so worthless. I'm out....af
