Merry Meet,
How are you? You have the relaxed look of summer…for me it
has been a season of focus, trying to get some closure and move forward…I
laughed when a friend told me it made her tired just to hear about what was
going on in my life…
Chris has been enjoying a summer break…he and rose have been
romping around mid-west England…American Boudica is currently on hiatus…this is
allowing both of us to focus and wrap up other situations…
Though Nature’s Power and Energy is still waiting on patent
work, that only takes Alex and myself…the rest of the company has been given summer hiatus…a well-rested crew
tend to be more innovative…
Rooney Detail and Driving has been busy…my guys do not mind
working in the heat…I have been catching trips around the state…it is the slowest
month of the year in Florida and we Floridians use this time to visit family
and friends…I have met some super interesting people and have gotten some
interesting sites…
Rooney Media will be releasing its first video this week…this
is really special…it will be far from the best but, it will be a place to
start…it feels good to be moving forward…with so much going on it has been
difficult to get trained on all the new software
Girly Pirate has been looking for a global vendor or a
vendor with the ability to handle global disbursement…I have also been
contacting individual countries to see if we can acquire special dispensation
and possibly handle distribution ourselves…I think I have found a brick and
mortar in Zhills…applications will start being taken in October…
Sunshine Paddle has been making appearances…Pine Island in
Hernando County has been a great respite…thanks to the boat rental people,
there we were able to take several young people on their first boat
ride…Honeymoon Island was a great adventure…the weather was so wonky we were
not able to paddle but, it was great exploring the island
Study, research, write…and repeat…school is burning my brain…I
am on the last leg of my doctoral journey…I have submitted my first 3 chapters
and wait to hear if they have been accepted…global supply chain strategy…non-military procurement…I know you are just so
excited to hear such terms…I can do this…I am blessed with a great study group…
The first of August is coming and I have planned a feast and
movies in the pool…Lughnasadh will be opening the harvest season…in my view
this is a season to give thanks – for what you have and for future blessings to
be bestowed…
The genetic testing showed me to be of Pirate and Viking
decent…no real surprise to me…the medical information is clean…I did have a
high rate of Neanderthal – no wonder I am so hard headed…I have found a few new
relatives…really kind of cool
My grandson has kept me running…I have been helping him get
ready for pre-K…I bought workbooks and we work on at least one page each time
he is here…I took him on his first boat trip…it was a paddle boat and I let him
navigate…He met Ranger Bill on Honeymoon Island who explained the natural environment
the Island provides to creatures in and out of the water
Glad you made time to jump in the pool with me…it does the
mind some good to slow down and focus…the parents are good…the husband has been
a challenge but, what husband isn’t…lol…the question I get asked often is when
I will take a vacation, the only answer for that is “soon”…in the meanwhile, I
will take breaks like this when I can…I also am putting together a winter
wardrobe and hope I can get time to visit soon…
Blessed Be,
Captain D
