I&#8217;m married, we have a daughter, and I would much rather be supporting my family than keeping the home fires burning.  I would prefer to let my wife do the fire tending and child raising.  Don&#8217;t get me wrong, I love spending time with MEG, but my wife really deserves to be spending this time with her.<\/p>\n<p>My qualifications are simple:  I will work as hard as I know how to get the job accomplished.  I&#8217;ve got a lot of life experiences; chances are I&#8221;ve done something in my past that has equipped me to deal with whatever task you have at hand.  Except, maybe, welding &#8211; I never could get the hang of that.  Mechanical work?  Give me a wrench and a rag, I&#8217;m a happy guy.  Woodworking?  Please &#8211; lob a softball into my wheelhouse, why don&#8217;t ya?  Sales?  I suck, but I&#8217;ll still try to sell whatever you have that needs to be sold.  Consulting?  Hey, I&#8217;m a blogger &#8211; I would be more than happy to share my opinion with you about what you are trying to do.  I even have the critical thinking skills needed to make sense of what you are doing before I give you an opinion about what to change or tweak &#8211; unlike a certain Poseur In Chief.<\/p>\n<p>So &#8211; hire me already.  Unless you like training new people every few weeks.  See, I would be around for the long haul &#8211; I&#8217;ve got another fifteen, twenty years in this tank yet, and possibly longer &#8211; and plan to work as long as necessary in order to make sure my daughter gets the education and start in life that she will need to succeed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Looks like the US will have to take it&#8217;s cue from a smaller country in regards to this whole &#8220;anthropogenic global warming&#8221; issue &#8211; Australia&#8217;s Senate is on the verge of rejecting that country&#8217;s version of the cap-and-trade system (they call it a &#8220;Scheme&#8221; &#8211; quite appropriately, I think) and most of the hesitation is due to a book that is out in Australia now and due out in the States in July.
