Spent a nice holiday weekend down at the Cape. Good company, times and food were all prevalent. BBQ's, lobsta, golf, beach, Otis Redding are a few images of the weekend that come to mind. In regards to "On Sabbatical" I did have an opportunity (more than one actually) to state my case to some qualified listeners.
The more I travel around and meet new people, the more "unemployed" I find. I proves to be very interesting just to see how everyone is spending their time...
Saturday evening, the 4th of July, I attended a BBQ a friends home, where I was staying. The neighbors were invited over, only after a walk through tour of their new motor coach. It was like 50 ft long or something ridiculous. The owner of this coach was a character, and it wasn't long before we started talking business.
As I made sure the guests cups were never empty (with some fine American wine on the holiday), a certain rapport was developed and they soon asked what such a charming gentleman of my age and stature did for work. I then explained my situation and the type of career I am now looking for. The area of insurance. My friend's father replied, "Well, that's smart, going to where all the money goes to."
I then spoke of my family history, on one side there are the pharmacy entrepreneurs, and on the other, the grocery entrepreneurs. I feel the entrepreneurial spirit runs in my blood, but the question is where do I go with that? The jovial fellow I was speaking with then told me if I wanted to make money I should be a grocer. I said that sounded great, but I can't just go into buying/owning something just like that. Time will tell I suppose.
In the meantime, I continue to plant seeds, in hopes of sprouting something very lucrative, rewarding, totally awesome, etc;
