nothing better to do

To those I adore,

So many of you are probably scratching your heads about my last blog wondering what the hell I was talking about. Well I was just bored and thought I would tell you all why it is impossible to time travel. Also, the entire theory of time and physics is a bunch of B.S. once you are far enough away from Earth (i.e. relativity) but proving time (how we know it) does not exist is an easy enough task, that I will leave to the reader.

As for an update I will try to be brief. Jeff is here in Raleigh for the next three weeks doing some training for his new job, I am really proud that he finally got a new job. The other company he worked for was just crap. Rob has started blogging as well his site is at the following address http://rob-wingfield.blogspot.com/. There are some pictures of his new baby girl Milina up on it so go check it out.

As for me it is the same shit different day. I am looking forward to the 6th with my fingers crossed. I would really like to start working and have Kailey finish her degree. I am ready to move on with life, get married, travel around a little, and eventually have kids. I am hoping that this job in Idaho will allow for that. One thing that is good is that it is for Naval Reactors and hopefully sometime in the future I could transfer to Washington up at the shipyards there. However, I am somewhat nervous because I got caught up in a weird information exchange. When the fellow called me for the first phone interview he was from the radiation protection part of NRF, that job was not really what my background is focused on so he said he would have someone from their fuel development section call me. The next phone call I received was about flying me out and when I could come out from a personnel manager. So what job am I interviewing for, I am not sure, but I will cram on both subjects before I head out. I am confident with my radiation protection skills but fuels is a vast volume of information.

In other news I just finished reading Stephen King's fourth instalment of the Dark Tower series. His self proclaimed masterpiece his magnum opus. It is a relationship I have delved my mind into and somehow cannot get out of until I finish reading all of them. They just came out with a comic book version of this series two weeks ago and of course I bought the first issue. They are in talks with J.J. Abrams the director of the hit T.V. series "Lost" to do either a series of movies, or mini-series based on the Dark Tower series. That I would be super pumped for, but at the same time dread it because the books are so long and so detailed I do not think they would do it justice unless you ended up with "Lord of the Rings"-ish type of movies where you can run the Boston Marathon in a shorter time than watching all three movies. For Dad, J.J. Abrams is producing the next Star Trek movie (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0796366/). Anywho I am a huge fan of this series and the fourth installment was one of the better ones so far. I only have three more books to go now and started the fifth last night.

Well that is all for now I think.

Love and kisses,
Rick
