Back To School

This week our local schools started back for the 2010-2011 school year. I recall this Monday morning as I left our neighborhood about the time the school buses were due to arrive. Each street corner was crowded with children with new back packs and clothing. You could just tell there was excitment within each group of school children.

And I was excited too, as I started a training program as an oil and gas title abstractor. The last two weeks have been a whirlwind of activity and opportunity. Renee's son Logan left for school last Wednesday morning and I was offered a position on the same day. I can sympathize with children entering a new school for the first time. They are anxious about all the unknowns and I was as well. The more I learn, the more I realize I don't know. My training moves to New Martinsville next week and I will be out of town most weeks thereafter.

I shared my new career path with members of council after last Thursday's meeting and I explained that I would work my schedule around regular council meetings. Sadly the upcoming special CVB council meeting is scheduled for the first night I will be out of town. I will share, via my blog, my views of the two proposals presented to council last meeting by both CVB's. I am not sure if council will vote on CVB funding at the next meeting or just have a special meeting so that all the CVB issues can be discussed thoroughly. My guess and hope is the latter.
