Next Month, Kristine and I will spend a week in Sosua, Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic. This is a much overdue vacation.

A few weeks ago, I was informed that the Hospital that I have worked at for the past 18+ years, is planning on outsourcing my job! Yes, Just like they talk about on the big cable news channels. (Only not to a foreign country!) From what I hear, I only have about 1 1/2 - 2 months left. I started here way back in 1987. I came here and fell in love with the Air-Medical helicopter program that I work for. It has been the center point of my life since my first day here. I won't mention the name of the hospital or the flight program. I care way too much to do that. When the rug is pulled out from under me, I'll become a displaced employee. Our HR Dept. will try to find some type of a replacement job for me. (Good thing I can still mop!)

I can only hope for the best. I have a little more than a year to go until I reach 20 years for my pension. After that, who knows? I think I hear NY City calling. I better go answer!
