November 23, 2009


Dear Diary,

This is a short week at work, which is nice, and very welcome after an exhuasting weekend of travel. I still can't bring myself to get any rest, yet. Perhaps tomorrow. In the meantime, I have discovered a fantastic website, I'd like to introduce you to. If I don't take advantage of it, someone ought to.

Let me say, first that I participate in the My Coke Rewards program. And because of that, I occasionally withold coke rewards from my school. Sorry, school. Apparently the school can earn points toward something, but I redeem myself slightly by occasionally tossing one their way as well. Or donating points. But to be honest, I don't drink enough Coke products to really have an abundance anyway. Now, having said that, I finally reached enough points to qualify for a magazine subscription. My first Self magazine arrived in record time (of any subscription I've ever had in my lifetime), and I found it when I returned home from my trip.

While perusing the pages, I happened upon a website for finding (and test-driving) your dream job. That dream job can be anywhere from Broadway Musical Director, to Alpaca Breeder, to Karate Instructor, to Sword Crafter. Now, I have to be honest that this sounds like a vacation I'd like to take. I have oft mentioned that I don't have a clue what I really want to be doing, but that's one fun way to find out. Did you know that you can shadow Jeff Calhoun (apparent Broadway producer/director/actor/performer/etc) for 2 whole days and decide if that's the life for you? Or head off to a Bed & Breakfast in New Hampshire and determine whether B&B ownership's your thing? I think Vocation Vacations is in my future.

I only wonder how much swordcrafting experience I have to have in order to experience it first-hand, before deciding to chuck it all and open a sword....crafting....place....thing...

Anyway, anyone ready for a roadtrip? Perhaps tomorrow?....
