Shine a Light

I was watching Californication last night. Have not seen the show in years but wanted to see the latest episode. But at one point the Rolling Stone's album Exile on Main Street came up and one of the characters sang the song Shine a Light.  Now this album was one of my favorites back in the day and still brings back a lot of emotion. It was also the favorite of my friend that past away a few years ago, so today I am listening to it again...  Here is one of the best songs on the album:   Saw you stretched out in room ten-o-nine  With a smile on your face  And a tear right in your eye  Couldn't see to get a line on you  My sweet honey love  Berber jewelry jangling down the street  Make you shut your eyes at ev'ry woman that you meet  Could not seem to get a high on you  My sweet honey love  May the good lord shine a light on you  Make every song your favourite tune  May the good lord shine a light on you  Warm like the evening sun  Well, you're drunk in the alley

What does 2013 have to hold for me?

That is a question that I have been asking myself for quite a while. 2012 was a year of transition. We moved from South Carolina to Denver towards the beginning of the year, and while I did not start at a new company I started a new job. The first month of being in Denver I was actually in South Dakota for work. I travelled quite a bit over the summer so I did not get a great opportunity to explore all Denver had to offer. So what will 2013 be like now that I have been living here almost a full year.  Well for one my wife has a full-time job, something that she did not have for the majority of the year last year. So we struggled a bit for money. This year will be much better in that aspect.  Secondly I have settled into my job fairly well and will probably not travel quite as much. I don't mind the travel it just makes it tough when I am gone for a month at a time.  Thirdly, everyone in the family is much happier now that we are living in a place that we really enjoy. I
