No Pulitzer Yet
I am not going to wait any longer for the phone call from the Washington Post pleading with me to join their elite investigative journalist corp.

Inbetween time I have continued with the pursuit of financial services licenses and certification.

I now possess NASD Series 7 and 66 and recently completed the life and health insurance course. However, as I was fired from the financial services side of the business for low production, I have yet to take the insurance exam. I have until July 29th this year to take it.

So fired and rehired by the same company in a matter of hours. I am now preparing taxes. Working out of two offices I am kept busy and I am actually enjoying it.

Working like crazy for a few months and making pretty descent money is quite appealing. Then I can cruise for a (hopefully) short time and pick something else up.

I am in the process of building up a road bike. Hopefully I will spend more time riding it than I currently spend hunting the component parts down on eBay.

Otherwise, nothing much has changed. My financial position is more precarious. The truck is still daily transportation. The Alfas are still in a garage.

I am putting Gina 3 back together. The Alfa convention (missed in '05 even though it was a mere 150 miles away in Seattle) is in Tulsa, Oklahoma this year. So June is when I have to have my baby running again. It is quite a trip out there. Not checked but around 1500-2000 miles. We'll see.
