The older I get, the better I was

Not.

Sometimes, I feel the aging (especially in sports), but the more I age, the more I feel the knowledge I gained allows me to do more, new, better things.

This life is a non-stop learning process and it pleases me to learn from all kinds of people, from all ages. Sometimes (and not that few times), I'm learning how NOT to do certain things, but that's learning as well.

This week, I have a lot in mind:
- Music and sports activites were little or none;
- I feel a lot of injustice at work, yet little can I do.

Next week, things must improve. I'll make it happen.

No car... the train will do...

This one is hilarious... I didn't bring the car to work today and in order to stay late, I asked if a friend could give me a ride; he said yes and forgot about it. When I called him, he was practically home. Oooops !...

So, I had to get on the subway and then the train to get home.

Our train line is one of the single most spectacular ones in the world. For a brief 30 minutes, you ride by the Tagus River heading home, watching the sunset as the river becomes the Atlantic Ocean.

Well, I expected to be home in twenty minutes and this takes me a little over an hour, but it's not entirely bad... far from it.

They want me to stay...

Less than one day has passed. He ran into me in a corridor and invited me for a quick meeting with the two "top dogs" in the place.

Everything was compliments, incentives...
All were words of praise...

They want me to stay put.

Coincidence ?
There's no such thing.

I might go...

I let him know that I may go.
It's not that I'm unhappy or unsettled... there just might be an opening someplace else that will suit me better.

He was a class act.
Knowing that I thrive for personal challenges and evolution, he made it clear that I have all his support. I also made it clear that I won't budge without letting him know in advance.

I wish everything was this transparent.
