Currently Listening I'll Lead You Home By Michael W. Smith see related

 I never can figure out these fonts, so I use the trial and error method.  I have had a good couple of nights at work.  Sean is back at work.  His wife had their 3rd child, so he has been off for almost two weeks.  Cute pictures.  Jim was out last night.  He had court yesterday with his son.  I added him to my prayer list.  Jim is just a really nice guy.  He works a 2nd job at the North River Corner Market and the lady there serves very good breakfast foods.  One of these days, I will have to get over to try one of her sandwiches.  Her name is Fedora and This morning I ask Fedora if she was going to be open next Monday.  She ask why and I reminded her it was her birthday.  She said it was just another day.  I saw her smile though, so I am pretty sure she was glad someone remembers.  She also smiles when I tell her the food is good and I always thank her after I pay.  She can be a bit gruff, but she really is a sweet lady.  Jim is a good guy also.  They have a lot of regular customers and he knows how each and every one like their particular order and he fixes everything just so.  One lady calls in her order from the bus.  Then she hops off of the bus and picks it up.  When Jim isn't there, the other people don't know every peculiarity and things don't go as smoothly.  The lady who calls from the bus always get a couple of drinks and Jim always goes back to the cooler and gets everything ready.  Sometimes the little things make the biggest difference.  Jim does a lot of the same things at work.  He really helps the shift go smoothly.  We missed him last night.

We had a good crowd at Amigo's last night.  There were five of us and the discussion was pretty funny.  It was a very relaxing time and I really enjoy the time together.

I am pretty sure I will sleep well today.  I am fairly tired. I slept well yesterday, but I believe I could have slept longer.

I had a good discussion last evening before I went to Amigo's.  Sometimes it is good just to talk things out and a fresh point of view helps keep things in perspective.  There are some things I would like to see happen in a certain way but sometimes what I want isn't the most important thing.  I need to remember that the important thing is seeing people you care about happy.  Sometimes I do foolish things and usually end up regretting them later.  Every now and then, I do something that is good and I enjoy the satisfaction of knowing that I might have a part in seeing someone else happy.  

As I left Amigo's last night, I ran into a friend from the Czech Republic. I was sad to hear he is going home in June, but I am happy for him.  We worked together at the hotel.  He did security/maintenance and I did the front desk duties along with the night audit.  It was usually the two of us on duty and that was it.  Every now and then there was a housekeeper on duty, but usually it was just the two of us.  I always enjoyed talking to Marek and we had a good working relationship.  We even had Thanksgiving dinner together last November.  He plays tennis with Doc's son-in-law Ben.  Ben invited Marek for dinner and it had been almost a year since I had seen him.  He lives at the hotel and he is always on call.  He would work 100 hours some weeks.  It sounds like a lot, but he was working here to make some money before he goes back to his country.  A lot of our discussions were about Hockey, Tennis and general English.  He was taking an English class when I first started working at the hotel.  I was able to answer most of his questions, but then I have spoken English most of my life.  He will be missed.  If I ever get to his country, I will have to get him to interpret for me.

The Reds won last night.  Life is good!
