I'm Saying it AGAIN!

I really do want to be more consistent with my posts here.  As much as I may WANT to though, it just seems so difficult to actually make it happen.  Perhaps that is just a microcosm of life; so often the reality falls short of our vision.  So maybe I should change my vision?

This blog began as a way for me to share my adventures as I traveled the USA as a truck driver.  When I got my own federal Motor Carrier Authority (permission from the feds to do this as my own boss), I soon realized that I could make money finding loads for other drivers operating with my name on their door.  But I could not do BOTH drive and dispatch.  Over time, I opted for the less demanding work of dispatch.   If you haven't driven PROFESSIONALLY - you don't get it.  OTR truck driving is a lifestyle; not just a job.  It takes a special personality.  There is a lot more to it than just holding the steering wheel for 10 hours a day.

Now, as 'Office Boy', I do not have the input of new adventures to write about.  Or do I?  I do not want this blog to be about me.  Facebook is about the world knowing every nuance of your personal life.  I have too many skeletons for that.  I would rather tell stories, preferably true, or at least mostly.  I want to entertain with words.  So I need a new vision of what this blog is about.

Rather than my travels, which are limited, I am expanding my topics to include current events.  Don't worry.  This is not a news source.  I will be too opinionated for that. 

So, I apologize for not providing new content here for almost six months.  And I make a promise (again) to be more consistent.  This is a start.
