I PASSED!... Now Can I Catch Up On My Reading???

After frequent prayers and nervous twitches, I passed my Illinois Life Insurance Licensing Exam. *WHEW!* With that done, nothing is stopping me from making a career out of this except myself. There will be a lag from now till when I actually get down-n-dirty as the insurance provider I am working with has to get a copy of the license and issue me an agent number. Meanwhile I am going to take a break. I do though have to do something for our next meeting Monday in Quincy.

As an assignment, I had to buy "Think & Grow Rich" and make out my own personal goal statement. AUGH! Yet another book to read!!! Wizard and Glass is now officially going to collect dust. Started on "Settling Accounts: Returned Engagement" by my favorite author, Turtledove. Raymond Smullyan's "Who Knows?" also came in. It is short, so it should be a quick read. Of the three parts (a general look at the existence/non-existence and quality of God and the possibility of an afterlife, a look at hell, and a look on collective consciousness), I already finished the first part. VERY GOOD, filled with his typical humor, as he defends and attacks all forms of believes as he formulates his own: agnostic, belief in an evolving deity, and belief in an afterlife although we don't know what that is. For those unfamiliar with him, here is one of his writings. Don't read the first few paragraphs and assume what he is trying to say via God. You need to read two-thirds of it at least to get the point he is trying to make. Dune: The Machine Crusade will be after those two.

Already made a blog exclusively for my job to help me stay organized and such. ULTRA-PRIVATE!!! Contains phone numbers, client's names, etc. so this is something I really don't want others to see!!!!!
