So, do you know where Eunice NM is? Down there they have a Enrichment facility in build-up that I visited to attempt drumming up some business for a buddy’s industrial supply business. We’ll see if that flies, could use the commission! 13 hours mostly spent in the car down there and back, with a bounce out to WIPP and a Pot-Ash mining firm along the route. Drove through Hobbs, Lovington, Tatum (NM), Roswell, Artesia, Vaughn, Encino, and exhausted. Actually surprised I’m posting I am so beat.

So for those out of the loop, yes, I am no longer at the winery. Good thing really, despite the not-yet-employed again status. Eventually Unemployment Insurance will hit and help make our 3 month emergency savings stretch 6 months.
Otherwise looking into the medical sales territory for a position as a rep. Your prayers are very appreciated, and if you have any leads for me to chase-down or people I should talk to please leave a comment and I’ll get back to you.
P.S. Turned comments back on, unsure how they got turned off before! ~e

Hello, hello! right on, been only a week since my last post, and curious to find the last one never saved. Wondering also how the comments got turned off, as I don’t remember having done that. Oh well, life goes on.
Last week was killer, and not the good kind. Trained and did a ride-along with a rep up in Northern New Mexico, cover another reps route, be overjoyed with one and the complete and utter blessing of being able to invite them to the team, and not quite as happy with another. You know of course I have a team of 8 peeps to manage? There are days that are so ADC, or Adult Day Care. You who have not spent at least 6months in people management, or had children (mine are 2 and [-]3months) you probably cannot relate. Two long drives to T or C and back finished my week off, and Saturday couldn’t of come sooner. Had a melt-down of sorts in convo with my boss, we mutually decided if Jess would agree, adding her to the team in a very part-time manner would be a brilliant way to keep some of the “details” of my responsibilities in check. This would not only alleviate frustration on my end with aforementioned details and free me to concentrate more on my other duties, but please the office in Deming that was ready to string me up at times over my mistakes. God is so good!
Yesterday went to the flea with the fam, even had Asher’s “PapaBruce” along. Scored a better than current “travel-system” (Stroller, car-seat/car-seat base) for $35 buckaroos, a few non-fictions to add to the manager library, and a couple of trance/progressive CD’s for a buck apiece. Cannot complain, and all happily gained with less than $50 dollars. I love the flea, it’s like one-hundred garage/yard sales all lined up for perusal and purchases. Also gained Asher his first pair of DC Shoes (I can dream he’ll turn pro-skater at 11), what might those cost? $2! barely used, and clean/good to go! EEK even got him a starter skateboard that fits his 27month-size just right. Can life get any sweeter?
I oughta quit it with the procrastination here, I’ve work to do this afternoon to be prepared for the next 48 hours. Don’t really want to fire one of my salespeople, but it might just be the crisis they need to see God and His plan for them more clearly. Have another employee ready to be promoted, so that might commence this week as well. Eventually I’ll get back to my mid-week Bible study group. Naturally I’d be really excited about the study materials and direction the group has begun to take and I’ve been really too busy to be able to attend. My quiet time is still there though, Praise God for that!

Hello Friends,
Hired a bunch of folks to help work the weekend wine festival and saw to their placement in our booths. Southwest Wines, (my employer) had 6 booths this year so I had a lot of running around to do while there. I don’t think I’ll be enjoying a winefest as a “guest” or regular attender ever again after seeing/doing what I’ve done this weekend. Lots of people, warm temperatures, and a whole-lotta profit for the winery.
At the same time my folks hosted a family reunion here in Albq. I had this as a great excuse to leave the winefest early when I could, and had pre-conditioned my management (and anyone else who cared) that I wouldn’t be there for the whole festival. Yesterday was particularly sweet as I was there for not more than an hour and a half prior to catching Indy 4 at the theater with my uncle Kenny. Good times, Good times. Asher spent the day and night with my father-in-law so I could work the festival, and am now looking forward to his return. Have some stuff to run around and take care of with him, so it’d be nice to get that going soon.
Jessica is spending a few days with family in East Texas this week. Kinda weird without her home, I already miss her and she left yesterday. She needed the away time and I can manage, so glad she’s having fun without Asher for the time she’s there.
God is so faithful, so amazing, so righteous and Holy yet wants a relationship with us. Spend some time with Him, he longs for intimacy with you.

Really good wine. Amazing good wine. Had the future plan in progress explained to me today by the “boss” in Deming today. Nice. All sorts of growth for me avail as I grow with the company and help facilitate more sales growth. Enjoy a bottle of DH Lescombes Imperial Kir this holiday season! Raspberries abound in this wonderful sparkling wine. I had some of the ports our company makes a few nights ago, my fav is the “pirate bottle” St. Clair Port. Just a tad sweeter than the DH port, but of the ports the Chocolate port from our Enchantment Vineyards label was the most enjoyed. A snifter of that and a good cigar = good times, good times!

OK, back at it! Back in the Saddle! Hopefully will be able to make time for posting once-a-week if not more. Thanks for your patience.
Life has been good, very good. Going up-ladder in a different industry so far has had it’s bumps, but the industry is way-more fun than window-coverings. Helps when the product is delightful. Being a hit on the wine-tasting circuit with a few top-sales labels in the state is nothing to sneeze at either. biggest and most state-of-the art in the state of NM is admirable, and 77th in the state in terms of size. All of these facts feel real good when considering my employer and product.
New Mexico Wineries is the producers of some great wines: D.H. Lescombes, Blue Teal, St. Clair, Mademoiselle, Plum Loco, Summer Peach, Wine-a-Rita, San Felipe to name more than a few. All produced in Deming, NM with grapes loving the sun outside Lordsburg, NM. I’ve been hired to oversee the sales representatives as Sales Manager, with 5 (soon to be 6) people to serve. What a blessing! Finally able to pass on all the great coaching tips and account manager skills I’ve been taught or developed (by God’s grace) in my 3 years with Skandia. Where with the last job I was a Window-covering expert, now I’ll expand my knowledge to cover wines and hopefully be more than a novice sommelier. The week after turkey-day I’ll be back at the winery to improve in “widget”-know how, so I can be more in-touch with the market/industry I’m now in.
St. Clair Bistro is related to our winery, it’s where all of our wines are available to taste and purchase. The food is reasonably-priced ($8-$17), and really good. the wait-staff are experts in pairing wine to the menu, so give it a try. Jess and I ate there last weekend with my folks… fabulous.

Some changes are afoot in our life lately, more specifically with my side of our marriage, and I’m not one to count chicken’s before they hatch, but am excited by the possibilities. I’ll divulge more on the matter in future posts. I’d appreciate your prayers over the matter, despite your limited knowledge at this point (unless you’ve talked to me personally lately). It’s been slightly stressy, but ultimately finding complete comfort in God’s amazing grace.
Rode King of the Mountain with some friends last Saturday. Still feeling it. Tomorrow morning I’ll hit some local trails here in Durango with a friend who just happens to be an account of mine. Good stuff in store, as I’m sure the area has all sorts of hidden gems.
Pictures to follow.

I had hoped to not be so slack with posting like this again, aiming for once a week (at least). A bunch of amazing and not so amazing stuff has happened since I last posted, and if I could list it all I would.
Work is busy, been flying down to El Paso to serve that sub-territory for the last 8 weeks. Now in Albq. to serve the locals. Next sub I’ll hit is probably my northern for one trip to check in, then hit the Eastern-most section like I did in El Paso.
Riding is huge focus lately, as my other blog will testify.Here is it’s site for you if you’re curious. I’ve decided to list the rides I’ve organized and or done there in posts so they can be main focus. Eventual I’ll have some pics both there and here to support the textual.
One point I’ll leave you with that I’ve been teaching/dealing with for the last few weeks: excellence vs. obedience. Unlike religion that is man’s attempt to reach God via different “rules” or “quotas” of “works” where there is differing levels of “greatness”, God calls us to Holiness and that requires something far different from various shades of gray. God has shown His love for us by the atoning sacrificial work of Jesus, and because of that we should mind his commandments because of that. There are no shades of gray in Obedience, and that is what He desires of us, no compromise or % of excellence. More later maybe, depends on comments kinda as I know most of you readers are familiar with this idea (or at least I hope so).
God Bless~

Incredible how time flies. I do regret not posting for the last few weeks, but geez has life ever been busy! Obviously I’m not one who lives by internet solely, but that doesn’t mean I can get away with not posting at least something every week.
I apologize.
What’s been up? Tripped to Wichita to spend time with my Pops and Step-Mum, have been traveling for work lots (farmington, Taos, Red River, Angel Fire, etc). Just got back from a weekend camping trip with our SS class from Church. Off to S. New Mexico and Elpasout next week. Just busy! Asher is growing so fast! At 41k miles in Vanna, Riding my bike (one or the other) as often as I can, and spending more time (consistently) in the Word and In prayer than ever before… Feeling really blessed. Shooting photos/assemblage-ing a PPT show for VBS this week at our Church. Soon major changes may occur for me with X, and at the same time I’m more praying for Contentment and assuming a Gratitude Attitude (GA) for the blessings already received. I’ll explain X eventual if God wants it to be reality. We’ll see, pray for His Will to be done regardless.
Date night weekly soon to be a reality. Hopefully that can work out and Jess and I can “shore up” our marriage as all marriages need from time to time.
Anyhoot, there ‘tiz in a nutshell. Will get in a photo-post groove soon to share all the images recorded from recent adventures aforementioned.

So, a few posts back I whined about having to go to a sales trip I didn’t want to go to. Reason I had for that attitude turns out was shared by others on the sales team: we didn’t do so good in 2006. Seagull Management Strategy was what we were expecting (fly-in, ___ on us, fly out), and yet we found upper management much more understanding. I found the training provided was stellar, especially the speaker we had. We also were shown some of the new stuff my employer will be unveiling in the coming months, so cool stuff on the way. After the meetings we went to SanDestin for the R&R portion of our meeting. I’ve had many massages in recent years, but one that had a wet/dry sauna experience prior to, and a very, very, nice “lounge” experience after at the spa made my day. Pictures I took when there are to follow, so come back soon.
