Just Looking Beyond the Curve

Well, my blog took a bit of a vacation. Maybe a semi-retirement. Heck, it could have been pure laziness. Whatever the issue, there is a lot of stuff that bounces around in my head and this space allowed me the option of getting rid of it. Therapy is expensive but since I already pay for internet and have a working computer this seems way cheaper. I used this time to talk about great experiences I had, players that mattered, and they all mattered, and just random stuff that I saw or witnessed during my days out galivanting around. There are still over twenty players to write about, life has had some fun and interesting twists, and I just have a lot to say.

Since I left FSC many things are different. Many of my former players are making their way through their careers, others are knee deep in the next degree, some have gone the distance to acquire, or are acquiring terminal degrees, and others are still working on finding their passion while finishing up at FSC or another school that fit their needs. Our own family has gone through transitions as well. My daughter is now driving, today was the first time in sixteen years that Michelle or I didn’t have to arrange her transportation to school, and to add to that the Pod has chosen to go the dual enrollment route her last two years of high school. This is exciting and nerve-racking. When she graduates with her high school diploma she will also have her AA or be a semester from that goal. Not a bad option for kids these days. They can go to normal high school, do early admissions, dual enroll, or even do collegiate. There still are AP classes and the IB program. Dang, when I was in school we had DECA. Things sure do change.

The Beyond the Curve blog was something I just wanted to do to free my mind. The name is derived from racing jargon. Racers look through the curve. Your eyes take you where you need to go. Where the eyes go the vehicle follows. Brianna rides horses and her coach has told her to look through the corner. She uses this reference to aid the rider to look where she wants to go while going over the jump. As soon as she lands wherever her head is the horse heads that direction. The Beyond the Curve idea is useful for many things. In the real estate world, you never know what will be around the next curve. The blog is still going to be my thoughts, ramblings, praises for former players, and now stuff that makes real estate tick for me.

Tonight, I will close with this: Call your family, check in on a friend, and love your kids with all your heart. They are the ones that will be there when you need them. Have a great Tuesday and go make someone’s day special!
