New Year

Well here we are on the cusp of a new year.  So much has happened in the last year and there is so much to look forward to in the coming one.  To be honest I don't usually make a big deal of the passing of one year into the next, but this year feels different.  This year there is a lot that coincides with the coming of the new year.  I feel like I am really starting out on this journey right now in the very beginning of the year in the very beginning of a new decade.

I hope that ten years from now I will be blogging (or whatever we'll be doing with our implanted computer minds) about my career as a firefighter medic.  But alas, we never know what the future will hold.  Just a year ago I was an artisan cheese maker.  Whatever happens I am excited about the possibilities and can't help feel, if even a little naïvely, that success is not as far away as I may think.

I wish all those in the field tonight a safe a happy new year.  Unfortunately many folks out there ring in the new year with stupidity and cause more work for emergency services.

Take care and have a happy new year!

Here we Go...

I am about to start a long journey toward becoming a firefighter. I live on the opposite side of the state from where I want to work so there are going to be a lot of complications. More on that later.

For now I am just going to start this blog. It will be a sort of measure of my progress from the beginning of my journey to the hopeful end, where I get a job.
