You're Never Too Old

This last week I did something I have never done before. I traveled 125 miles all by myself and stayed in a Motel by myself for 2 nights. You young people probably laugh at that because you are so much more fearless than me. If you know me very well you will know what an unbeliveable task that was for me. Pure Line Seeds is closing our Corporate office in Moscow Idaho and I had to go over and be trained to take over MORE responsibilities. Just what I wanted. Our new COO/Chief of Operations who is 40 years old and who doesn't know the difference between a pea and a bean is now in charge. He is supose to be a financial wizard and I guess that qualifies him to run a Seed Company.(That and he is the owners nephew) My most interesting experience on the trip was going to lunch and dinner with him every day. He is very religious (Catholic) and said a blessing over every meal. So it was comforting to know that his beer was blessed as well as my ice water with lemon. He did, however want to know all about Mormons and I was able to give him the first discussion during one of our dinners. I never thought I would be doing the things I am doing at this age. I'm old and tired and worn out. Not sure how long I can last at this job but I do enjoy working with Brian and Kylee. I guess if I can't keep up maybe I'll be offered a severence like the secretaries in Moscow. I could live with that.
