grilled tuna

Me and my brother in law went to cane river grill tonight .We sat on the back deck overlooking the water it was a little cool but not unpleasant .He has raved about the grilled tuna at this place so i decided to try it .I have watched tuna being prepared several different ways on the food network but have never tried grilled tuna myself . It was very nice with a rich flavor not unlike a fine steak but with a softer texture .I quite enjoyed our meal together we always chit chat about different things .the service was good and i would go there again . but rest assured this summer I might be cooking some tuna on the grill.

My Hands ....

My hands as most everyone who has them ,are very valuable to me .they have been able to provide a living for my family ,enabled me to express myself musically in a way my voice can't .They have been a source of giving pleasure ,and pain.they have been used to convey an idea and help give more meaning to words that are spoken .They have been used to defend myself and give a hearty pounding to those that have crossed me .over the last couple of days i have noticed that more aches and pains come regularly to my hands when i work .i know time is passing along and my hands though still nimble are not as young and full of stamina as they once were . I have to take little breaks when performing some task because they become pained. but above all i am thankful for the hands God has given me .They are a blessing and a joy to have and he has been able to use them to bless and touch others . They will never be hand model material but i enjoy using them more than i do looking at them ...

positively /negative

it seems at times in life you meet people that are really positive ,but you also meet people that are just in love with negative things. on the current job i am on i have some really sweet positive persons but a lot of people are just plain complainers ,that nothing seems to really make them happy . they gripe about the same things everyday to the point i find it both annoying and quite amusing at the same time . I see people on this job that obviously have substance and or alcohol abuse problems. i try to overlook these faults and treat them like i would like to be treated and hope they offer the same courtesy to me.and for the most part they do. I hope i am seen as a positive influence when people look back at their experiences with me .only time will tell.

a quote from Mr. King

But I know something else as well :there's a place in most of us where the rain is pretty much constant,the shadows are always long ,and the woods are full of monsters. It is good to have a voice in which the terrors of such a place can be articulated and its geography partially described,without denying the sunshine and clarity that fill so much of our lives.
quoted from: Stephen King's "The importance of being Bachman "

rain out/ what a blessing

I awoke this morning to the sound of falling rain .I got up dressed myself and headed to work when i arrived there. many of my coworkers where already headed back to their vehicles . I was so happy when we made it to our work area and they said we would be rained out .I had my truck already packed and headed home .snuck in on my wife and kids they were surprised and our dog skippy was elated to see me.My wife had gotten me two books from a swap thing she does so as of now I am reading "Clapton" I love biographies and memoirs about people of interest.and She also got me "the long walk" by Stephen King I look forward to reading the book which was originally published under his alias Richard Bachman . The Bachman books are his sunny day books .i will enjoy it .God bless .....

if only the highway of life had centerline reflectors

Hind sight is 20 -20. But when traveling down the highway of your life you have to make choices based on feelings,sight ,faith ,experience,hope. Some choices are good some are not. It would be so nice that when you made the wrong turn or decision .That like on one way streets you would immediately see the red reflectors glaring right away .Oh but life is not that simple , life is an adventure . I often ponder thoughts in my head that really don't matter . I hope and pray that the Lord will see fit to help me make good decisions not just for the immediate happening but for the future .Help me to have better foresight.
