Train Wrecks

MAJOR accident on the train line that connects Poughkeepsie with the rest of the world. I wasn't on that train, but I could easily have been on a later one that morning. Fortunately, I canceled those plans.

Did I mention that Reverend Cal asked me if I might be interested in staying on here another year?

I'm not.

For one thing... Poughkeepsie? For another, it's pretty clear to me that my talents, such as they are, lie entirely in the realm of entrepreneurial ideas and not in the actual management of ongoing enterprises. For better or for worse, I'm an idea perp.

I am kinda hatching a plan, though. I'm interested in doing another service stint. I'd really like to find something in Albuquerque or Santa Fe -- something within easy driving distance of Jeanna. (I'm assuming that there's nothing in Las Vegas.) Barring that, I've always wanted to check out New Orleans.

If I can get two successful entrepreneurial gigs under my hat, I want to pitch the Feds or some private nonprofit about hiring me to travel and set up sustainable small businesses in disadvantaged areas. They just might go for it.
