Career change?????

Well, as I indicated in an earlier blog, I am looking at a possible career change. After 17 years at Coca-Cola, I have decided, with some "gentle" prodding from my wife, to pursue a career as a police officer. WOW. Didn't see that one coming, did ya? Neither did I. I have been tossing around the idea for a couple of years of leaving Coca-Cola and I think the timing is right. God definitely had/has a plan. I have been exercising regularly for the last year, I ordered copies of my college transcripts last year and several other things that seem too coincidental. I feel a change in the seasons. It's exciting yet scary. I haven't applied for a job in 17 years. I gotta go to bed but I'll talk more about this later. I did have my oral boards yesterday and I think I did OK. We'll see.

Big Changes

Well, here I am sitting in front of the computer mere moments after I shaved off ALL of my facial hair. Yeh.....some of you, the next time you see me, may be in for a big shock. Or maybe you won't even notice at all. I don't know. All I know is that I shaved off my moustache for the first time in 25 years. That's right, 25 years. It is so weird. I have an interview for a job on Thursday and I have it under good authority that I will be looked upon favorably if I am clean shaven. My kids have NEVER seen me without facial hair so that will be weird. They both said I looked good though. My wife said that I REALLY look like my mom. SIGH!!! Thanks, Honey (I Think). It's not that I think I look bad or odd, it's just a security thing. It's a defining attribute of me as a man. Oh well, I'll get used to it. I'll stop talking now. See ya.

Quarterhorse store

Hey all, I just got word that we now have a store to buy merchandise for the band that I am in. You can visit it at http://www.cafepress.com/quarterhorse. Pretty basic but cool. Also, check out our Myspace page at http://www.myspace.com/quarterhorse007. We are currently polishing up our 4th set and I think we sound great so all you people out there that need a solid country band for any event in the Portland metro area, feel free to contact me through the comments section of my blog or e-mail me at bripowell@comcast.net. Here's a pic of our bands logo (compliments of Craig Martz, Rick Silver and Jason Weurtz).
Enjoy,

Brian
