About Me
- Jerry
- Born in Memphis, TN many moons ago. Educated at East High School and Christian Brothers University in the mysteries of Electrical Engineering. Married for 36 years this year to the same lovely lady with three beautiful children. Lived in LA, WV, IN, IL and essentially all-over TX (well, at least on business trips). Love my family deeply, feel very blessed by God (more than I deserve) and appreciative of all the friends I have made in this life! My first car was a Chevy II Nova (in upper right of my picture) - one of the first Nova's of this type made. It had a straight 230 cu in six and Torque Drive. Torque Drive meant it had no clutch but you still had to shift it from first to second when starting out (second to third was automatic). Very unique car. I loved it! Now I have a Mustang GT (going on 19 yrs old) given to me by my wonderful wife and it is still a blast. I now have a new daughter - the beautiful lady my son married! So thankful for all my family!
Our Family Blogs
Thursday, October 23, 2014
I've been neglecting my blog for a while now, but I'm thinking I am going to come back to it now.
Facebook only goes so far, and to be honest, I sometimes tire of it.
The blog seems like a great way to express things I have on my mind and it's less of a fishbowl than FB.
So, here I go again - trying to breathe new life into my blog.
Today was an interesting day to say the least. The local P.D. sent some officers to our work location to discuss with us the steps to take should we ever (hopefully not) have an 'active shooter' in our offices. The discussions were sobering to say the least. I admire the police officers who took time to help us prepare (as best we can) for hopefully something that will never happen. Still, if it does, I have faith that they will come to our rescue as quickly as possible and they will do what they have to do to minimize loss of life. It's a crazy world these days. While violence and injury to people has actually dropped statistically, work-place violence has steadily trended upward. According to the officers, 40% of 'shooter' situations occur in the work-place. That's a good reason to have some kind of plan in place for what you will do should such an unfortunate event unfold.
I am hopeful that we will never need to use the things the officers shared with us but glad for their watch-care over us and the fact they are daily willing to put their own lives at risk in order to protect our way of life; good men doing a really tough job.
Hoping your week is a good one and wishing you the best as always. Check out the new album from my friends at 2002 Music below. I am really enjoying it.
Until the next post....
May God continue to bless you,
Jerry

Our Weather Today:
It's been a very wet Spring so far this 2015. However, we have had periods of beautiful skies in between. Currently that trend continues. Oddly enough it's been quite cool compared to the norm so perhaps that means a summer that is not a scorcher. Really, I'm ok with that...
