Jeff's Story

Life Hey there. I used to think I had no time for things like this. Then I got an email from a lady (used to be a kid like me) that lived up the street way back in elementary school. Man I tried hard to remember who she was. Anyway, responding to the email and the days following made me think I would like to know where all those kids in lakewood went. It's been likely 10 years since I drove through that area. wow. It's now Jan 2006. Yikes. 20 year reunion this year. It will be funny to read this even 10 years from now. Here goes a bio. After High School, I went to UNBSJ for 2years. Then moved to f'ton for 2.5 more years of school. The last year I lived there solid. I finished in Jan 1991, and had to return home. Recession, no jobs. Got a job at a truck repair shop (Bayview) because I knew how to use computers. Within a few months I got a job in my field, working for penuts. Didn't have a pot to piss in. Had lots of debt from school, but with an education and someone that could put up with me, had it made. Crappy job working for Cavendish Farms here in Moncton. Paid crap wages, lived cheque to cheque like most people. Things got better once Rhonda found a steady job (she finished in Spring 92). Got married in July 1992. We bought a house that we still live in today. I don't really remember what we did for the first 5 years. We got by and things got better overall. We decided to have kids, I got a better job, so did she. Benjamin our oldest is now 9, and Samuel is 6. Both got red hair like thier dad (Rhonda's father has red hair too). We are really lucky people. The problems we have are that of what many people wish they had. Even the last 9 years is a realy blurr. All I know is that it get's busier every day, and the time seems to get more full. They like most kids want to play video games and watch TV all the time.... mmm, just like me when I was a kid. We have it pretty good. I constantly stive to get them more active, but it's tough to compete with Ga...Expand for more
meCube! I am generally a selfish person. I need to ensure I take care of me to continue to be a happy person. I always see the glass half full. When I am at the top of my game, I feel very secure of who/what and where I am. When I get down, it's miserable. I am sure my family thinks the same too. About the time Ben was born was when I really focussed on taking care of me. I started exercising regularly, and it's amazing when that does for you mentally. It brings you to the top of your game. I have continued to focus on fitness, and competition (in cycling) increasingly over the last 10 years. BTW, I attribute career success to this as well. I always had an interest in riding bikes. Don't know if folks remember, but I used to bike to high school, rain or shine. Used to like to see if I could beat the bus home. Anyway, I still spend 500 hrs or so a year forcing my body to do more that what it used to.... well, or at least maintain what I could do when I was in my early 30's. I had a great career, but I really don't care much about that anymore. I think the kids now take up that extra energy. I have a few really good friends. They are all cyclists too. They, like me are not fun people when they don't exercise. These guys have got me doing some stuff I would have considered crazy just a few years ago. Snowshoeing in back of Fundy Park or Ice Climbing in Parlee Brook creates an inner peace unmatched. Especially 6 hrs later when you return to the car with barely enough energy to drive back home. In the summer,we will cycle for 120Km at least once per week,with many shorter rides all week. I have been a volunteer in cycling for many years. Organized many races, including a national championships. I now have a bike club at Bens school that meets weekly. I started playing guitar about 3 years ago. Wish I had done that when I was a kid. Wish I could sing. Actually got prepaid lessons for xmas, gonna start that soon. Very relaxing. Well, out of characters. Cya.
