Rail Adventure

Last week Joan and I took a day off and decided to have an adventure on the Dallas rail system (DART). We drove to LBJ and Central Expressway and caught the redline downtown. It was very nice and easy to use. The trip was $1.50 each way.

We road down to the Cityplace station. From there we caught the free McKinney Street Car trolley. The street car runs down to the arts district. We visited to the Nasher and Dallas Museum of Art. It was a great experience. After the museums we jumped back on the trolley, then train and drove home.

It was a great day!

The Good Ol Days

I just celebrated 15 years at the mother company. After ceremonies I was talking with a fellow co-worker and before I knew we were both in "back in the gold old days" conversation.
"We used to have to work hard, kids today don't have that anymore"
"We used to accomplish stuff as a team together, not its scattered all of the world"
"We used to put a quality product and make our customers happy"

blah, blah, blah, you know how that one goes. I'm sure when I started working right out of school the old timers looked at me and then thought the good ole days too.

Times definitely have changed. And in 15 years at one company it has change tremendously. And certainly in 15 years I've changed a lot. I was 30 then and life was a whole lot different. But I am glad to still have the work and wonder what the next 15 years will be like.
