Notre Dame Ablaze, Sparks French Pride

-
Nothing brings people together like a tragedy. For us Americans, it was the horrific sight of people tumbling from the heights of the World Trade Center on live television. Nearly every person in the US and abroad witnessed the flames billowing from the building as that second passenger plane turned missile careened into an already devastating scene. So on some level, I think we can all, as Americans, relate to the terrible mix of emotions that come from witnessing such an event.

Team Epimetheus sends our hearts and prayers to France as a nation. We recognize that there would not have been an America, as we know it, were it not for their intervention in the revolutionary war. We would be remiss not mention that one of the greatest icons of America, the Statue of Liberty, was a gift from our French brothers and sisters. There is a lot of amicable history between our nations, a history we are proud to mention.

In recognition of today's national holiday (Patriots Day) and out of respect for the damage suffered by a french iconic monument we would like to ask that people take this time to appreciate the things that are most important to you. Of course, we love those of you who come to see the game progress and read my somewhat witty posts, but today I would like you to recognize that nothing in this world is permanent. So love your spouse a little more intensely, hug your kids a little longer, scratch your favorite pet behind the ears a few extra times, whatever has value in your life give it a little more attention today/tonight. We aren't going anywhere.

Viva la France!!!

 It has been a year since I began my career as a Professional Truck Driver. According to the research the average income for starting CDL holders averaged around 56k per year. Not great, but a good start right? I mean rent after covid alone is 15k+/yr. Add to that another 6k per year in vehicle payments and almost 6k in child support that would still leave nearly 20k per year for food, insurance, gas and other consequentials. Unfortunately, I joined a dishonest trucking company that has left integrity in their past and honesty at home. These types of trucking companies, I am told, are the norm. At this degenerate company, however, I was told 52k per year could be expected. Instead I am looking at about 35k!!! And this is with a 60+ hour a week commitment. This has put such a strain on my finances that I am still homeless after a year as a professional truck driver. For eighteen months my things have been in storage. My cat has been shuffled from home to home. My vehicle needs thousands

  The New Year is here!!! For so many wonderful people that means rocking in the year with their hearts set on fresh starts and some lofty goals. But you won't hear us here at Team Epimetheus diminishing the aspirations of others. "Aim for the heavens and settle for nothing less than the stars!" we say. Goal setting is the foundation to success. Now that the year has begun we would be remiss not to discuss our goals for the next four quarters. But before we look forward let us take a look at what was done last year. Reflecting on our accomplishments and lessons is a good start to planning out the new year. By recapping 2023 we can see what goals were not completed, why and what can be done differently. At the end of 2022 we had many great goals set for the project. While some of them were set aside many of them were conquered like an early morning mountain hike. If they were set aside it is best to talk about why that was and what we can do this year to accomplish those g
