One of the Plagues? April 23, 2009

So here is something nobody bothered to tell me about Las Vegas. Apparently we have a “locust season”. It comes around every 5 years and the city is overrun by grasshoppers. I found this out the hard way when I showed up in the parking garage at work. Upon exiting my vehicle I saw an odd pattern on the ground. This pattern was actually a carpet of grasshoppers. I started walking to the elevator and grasshoppers were jumping in front of me in a kind of frenzied way that resembled popcorn popping. I made it all the way to the elevator. The doors closed around me and when I looked up I was face to face with a cluster of the suckers. On the ride down they minded their own business so I did the same. Then I heard a sound like tapping on metal. I look up and there are grasshoppers above my head trying to come down through the metal grate in the ceiling.

I have never wished for an elevator ride to be over and be in the security of my office more than I did at that moment.

Nobody has yet been able to give me an approximate end date of this “locust season”. Wish me luck.

Do you smell that?…. It’s change. April 5, 2009

I have recently neglected this blog. So Sorry! You know how life can get in the way. Well, life may soon be changing for me and my little family, I’ll update later if anything comes of this….. don’t worry, it’s a good thing Actually, I smell adventure!
For now I’ll leave you with this quote:

 

It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power. – Alan Cohen
