I bet most of you thought the Butchie Boy blog postings were a thing of the past. Well here’s a disappointment for you, I’m back.<\/p>\n
When I started work for the Census Bureau I didn’t have a spare minute. But by the time I finished working there, I was out of the routine of writing these blog entries and I just sorta let it slide. I have been meaning to start it up again and hopefully by sending this new post I will have broken the hex.<\/p>\n
One thing about the Census Bureau, we had to man the phones and many times there were no calls coming in. We couldn’t make personal calls on the phone. They didn’t want us reading books. And you can only read the manual so many times before you go crazy. Lots of us got real good at Sodoku and crosswords. I guess the newspaper was ok to be seen reading.<\/p>\n
I had a tablet of paper and pencils and when I had a chance I would jot down a biographical story, similar to some of my earlier blog entries about when I was a kid. By the time I left I had about 70 or 80 of them written down. I will share some of them over the coming months.<\/p>\n
I have lots of things to catch up on; the last 2 gourmet dinners of this season, this year’s Brucemore show, birthday cakes of the past, various Census adventures, new smart phones, a visit from Wendy and boys, the memoirs mentioned earlier, a family cookbook, lots of stuff.<\/p>\n
Let’s hope I can keep at it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
