Where In The World Is Sum1?

Los Angeles

Los Angeles, California

         This past week I was once again in Los Angeles delivering a class to LAPD.  This is my 4^th or 5^th time working with them.  I had not delivered this class since 2020 and it showed.  My knowledge of the subject is sound, it was the timing and flow of the class that was off.  It's fine though, everything went well, and since I'll be delivering the same class in Ft. Lauderdale this upcoming week, it was a nice tune-up, so to speak.  Besides, Duncan Angami, the manager of the radio shop did offer me a job, in a way.  He said that if I retired from Motorola because the travel was too much, but still wanted to keep working, that there was a job with LAPD for me.  I'm not sure how serious he was, but I'd not take it if offered.  Why?  I'm not a big-city person, I'm much more comfortable with a city the size of Bloomington/Normal (~130,000 in this city).

         I spent my evenings resting and going to bed early because I didn't really want to get adjusted to PDT because I will be on the East Coast next week.  I was successful until Thursday, but that was expected.  The flight home last night was bumpy, but the plane had a lot of empty seats.  As a result I was able to lie down in my row and relax some.  We landed at O'Hare right about midnight.  I knew it would be a while to get my luggage and my van, and drive the 2 hours home.  Sometimes I hate being right.  I got home last night about 3 am, and will have a whopping 25 hours here before leaving tomorrow morning.  Wash had to be done, I needed to unpack and repack, and rest.  I napped 6 hours today, and managed to get 4 hours of sleep last night.  I think I'm ready for the week,

         Since I will be in For Lauderdale for 2 weeks, I will drive to Clearwater Friday evening to see my ex Father-In-Law.  He and I are close friends, and always will be  He knows his daughter and I are divorced, he encouraged me to divorce her 2 years ago when I saw him.  He understands, and while he doesn't know the details about our relationship, he does understand why we had to do it.
