I was in "Wuss Mode" the other day and was feeling particularly down which as you all know is not representative of the Paul Castain brand. I do believe there is a lesson in everything. I believe my biggest lesson was to stop searching for meaning and simply find the lesson. His lessons still resonate and I'm am grateful for having shared a brief space of time with him. Before I forget . . . My oldest son had a glimpse of the picture in this blog and said "Grandpa Des looked like a badass gangster" In his own way, he certainly was! Thank you all once again for your kind comments! I can’t begin to thank you all for your warm comments!

Wish I had met your dad sounds like a great guy. Having been out of work twice in my 50's I know how hard it can be. I collect job postings for openings in the Rochester, NY area and will share with any who care to hook up. Working in a quick print I catch many folks working on their resume's and share all my current postings. I make it a point to ask folks how their businesses are doing and if they are looking for help. My way of keeping the grass roots fertilized. Uncle Paulie,

Just kidding. Thank you for your kind words :) @ Jeff: I appreciate that comment and hope I have a "Janitor" or two at my funeral. Here's to creating that life now! @ Mary Beth: Thank you my friend. @ Juan: I admit that I am a bit rusty with Columbian expressions and had translated your comment initially as you calling my mother a goat. Upon second look (and all joking aside) proudly, my Father and I are in fact very much alike . . . particularly in humor and our obligation to give back. Also in hairlines . . . thank for that too Dad! :) @ Shawn: Actually I was hurting for ratings so I made up the story. Just kidding. Thank you for your kind words :)
