�
Friday I had the day off from working at Lowe’s.� Today I stared doing some volunteer work at the American Red Cross.� I’m trying to fill my days with productive activity until I really get to work.� I had applied for work about a week ago but had to go thru a security check (since 911) so I had to wait for that to come back.� I guess I was acceptable!� I am doing� basic administrative work.� They have a program called Whales Tales that teaches children water safety.� Each child that participates in the program has to be put into a data base.� About 3500 children will take the course in the next month – so that’s lots of names to enter.� On Friday night I went to a seminar “how to get into NASCAR.”� It’s put on by a husband wife team that is both in the industry.� It was very informative.� Many of the people who attended were in town for the race this weekend.� I was one of the few people that actually lived here.� I will follow up with them again this week to see what leads they might have for me.
