I figure the first one should kind of give a little bit of who I am and how I got to the world of blogging.
Well, I live in Cincinnati with my wife of almost two years. We have been together almost ten years this time around. We dated for awhile 30 years ago, which makes me 50 years old.
We own our own business and have for six years. We are bread vendors so we get up really early to the point of 2:00 a.m. in the morning. We work five days a week until we finish so if it takes 12 hours to finish, you get the point. I have a restaurant background, 23 years in the business and my wife has a retail background, 20 years in that business.
When I moved to Ohio in 2009 it took 6 months to find a job, any job! The bills piled up so when I did find a job, I needed two. I worked 7 days a week for two and a half years until I got into the bread business. My wife and I busted our butts to first stay afloat then catch up and finally get a little ahead.
Now to the meat why I am here blogging. Everybody today is engaged with the world some how, some way. The political landscape is no different. In my opinion things on the left and right come across to the extreme view. No negotiating, no working together, just here is what needs to be done and this is the only way to do it! We the people do not seem to be included in the process. The people bringing the news to us come across as biased and with an agenda. Heaven forbid if you don’t agree with that view, you can be called a racist or bring violence to yourself.
I have thought of running for office a lot in the last few years. I still have a business to run. I am not politically connected. I am registered Independent. I don’t have the money and the time. Bottom line I think I would have to compromise my own personal integrity to try to make a difference in that arena. Thanks for reading, until next time.
