Good afternoon gentlemen. I attended a business function the latter part of this morning that also constituted a luncheon. There were many people there and many that I have met before and had had conversations with. Since I have been on this journey, I have had many people that would pick me out of the crowd and would make a point to approach me and introduce and start a conversation. Please do not get me wrong I love meeting people and having discussions with them. But there are those times that you end up in a situation that the person or people that you ended up engaged in a conversation that is of one that you really do not want to be in, what do you do? Well you do not want to act like you do not want to be bother, or that they are not of importance. ( Keep in mind you never know who you are talking to or who is watching you.) You definitely do not want to tell them that you are not interested in what they have to say or just walk off. So how do you handle this type of situation? Well I found this to be one of the best ways possible that keeps you from looking like the bad person, or an anti social person. One thing that I do when I walk in a large meeting room or assembly area, I first scan to see who is all present, are there people that I know there?Are there people that are there that I been wanting to meet? Are there people that I know and want to avoid such as people that like to hear themselves talk, or people that like to discuss things that I do not wish to engage in. When I get into a situation with some that I really do not wish to be engaged in a conversation, while I am talking or listening to this person I quickly but without being noticed scan the room for some that person I feel they have common interest with. Then at the most opportune time I will say “ Have you met (and the person name ) and say I know you two have a lot in common, and I either motion that person over or I would gradually move our conversation over to where that person is. I make the introduction, and as they began to engage I find an opportune time to remove myself from the conversation with a politely “ Excuse me for a moment” or something to that affect.

I have 6 back to back meetings today including a boyscout board meeting. This time of year I deliver gifts along with account reviews to almost all my families I help . They have come to expect my deceased father in laws pastries (owned a bakery that was an OKC staple from 1946 until his retirement in 2010). His mother had a recipe for an Almond pound cake that my wife makes that seems to be a favorite.

As a kid with my father after we bought a pickup we were almost killed going down the front side by a semi whom lost his breaks and went between us and the guard rail. Forward to 2010 and I started driving otr for tmc and I was hauling coils back from Alabama to Ohio. I came up over the top and started down the front side, at this time I had my great uncles CB in the rig and it was turned off. Well started down the front side and at the same place I was almost killed as a kid the exact same thing happened. This is where it turns wierd. My great uncles cb turned on by itself and it was heard another driver screaming at me and no seiner I jerked hard to the left the other semi went between me and the guard rail. Now go back to when I was 13 and my great aunt handed me my uncles cb and her words were I think he’d have wanted u to have this. My great uncle used to drive rig here in Ohio and passed of a heart attack well before I was born. This is one reason that I have faith and I don’t share this much cause there’s things in play in this world that are much bigger than me but my life was spared 2 times. Someone is looking over me
