Training week

This week was the final training week on how to effectively wear the hat of an Admissions Representative for Southern Technical College. It was a good experience, and I am ready to rock and roll to help change people's lives by pointing them in the right direction.  The college is under new ownership as of last year and I can see the improvements they have made. Their goal is to help people begin new career paths with hands on training.  I listened to a few program directors discuss the details of the classes offered and they are very passionate about teaching and engaging students.   The instructors are professionals with real world experience in their specialty.   I think this will be a fun job and rewarding work environment. 

For this weeks swimming training it was a mixture of swimming LCM and SCY between FGCU and the San Carlos pool.

Wow - it's Friday and it looks to be a full moon out there.  There is a storm brewing over PR which is heading our way.  We'll stock up on water & food just to be safe. We don't own a generator, so hopefully our power won't  go out.  

I'll sign off with a picture of Yigo.....in his teenage years, when he was my running partner.
