Today was a great day! On January 19th 1967 Beverly L Wishnick gave birth to me. Her oldest son Michael. If you do the calculations that makes me the big 40 today. I really can't believe that I am 40. Jennifer and the girls made the day very special. Jenn and Jess picked out a special cake and I blew out the candles. It was real nice just to take it easy today and be with family.
Tommorrow I am heading down to Atlantic City. We have reservations at the Knife and Fork INN next to the Hilton Casino at 7pm. I never been to the place, but I heard it was very nice. There is 17 family and friends coming to dinner. It should be fun. Then afterwards it is over to the Hilton to play some poker.
Last I want to say a big thank you to the tremendous amount of emails I received after I was laid off from Dow Jones. The support that all of you gave me was overwhelming and very touching. I am truly blessed to have such wonderful friends and family. Thank you to everyone who made a very difficult situation a whole lot better. As I said in my previous post --- The time I spent at Factiva was a wonderful experience. I learned so much from all the amazing people in the Company. I will always look back at my time with Factiva with very fond memories. Life is way to short to be angry or bitter. It is such a waste of energy. When I look into both my daughters eyes you really start to understand what is important in life. Careers or jobs will come and go, but your loved ones will get you through the most difficult times.
So wish me luck tomorrow at the Poker Tables. If you area in the please stop on bye.
