A Week on the Road

I have spent the last week traveling.  Last Friday Mary Jo and i went down to Medford, OR.  On Saturday Mary Jo left with her grandparents, Mom, and Aunt to head to Utah for a week.  This was the first (and hopefully only) time we have (will) be apart since getting married.  I stayed in Medford till Wednesday.  The reason i did not join her in Utah was because of Wednesday morning.  I interviewed with Providence Medford Medical Center.  This is almost the ideal job.  Good opportunity for advancement.  Great health plan.  I’ve worked there before so i know i like the job and work environment.  It is back in Medford.  This used to be a down side.  Since most of my concert days are behind me that is not as much of an issue.

I took off from Medford after my interview heading to my sister’s in Eugene.  I spent the night there.  I did not head all the way home because i had an interview in Condon, OR Thursday.  I got up early and drove the 5 hours to Condon.  The town is smaller than i was expecting for a small town.  The doctor comes to town once a week (to give you an idea of the size).  The interview went real well.  After it i drove to Biggs for lunch.  From here i drove back to Lacey.  9-10 hours on the road is a long day.  I’m now home and Mary Jo does not get back until Sunday.  It will continue to be a long week and long days till she gets home safe.
