Happy New Year!
A new year is upon us, and it's almost February already. Wow! So far, 2023 has been a good one as I'm diligently working on my bucket list. On New Year's Day, I participated in the First Day Hike at Cleburne State Park. There were two different hikes slated for the day. Both included hiking to the CCC-built dam, while the longer hike diverged to the trail running along the perimeter of the state park. (Roughly six miles in length. My arthritic back sure hurt the following day.) In addition to the time spent outdoors, I finally took four days off from work in order to visit family for the holidays. For whatever reason, the job wouldn't allow me to take off. Out of frustration, I simply stated yours truly would be out-of-town for a few days and the shifts need to be covered. If this constitues a resignation, so be it. Surprisingly, I still had a job upon arrival back in Fort Worth. Guess playing hardball pays off from time to time. Anyway, the trip to Yoakum
