Why I'm writing PDR

A little more then 5 years ago I became pretty darn sick. I was in a job I didn't like. My creativity was being bottled up, and I was sick of my life. In any case, I got a staff infection from shaving and spent nine days in the hospital. The infection tracked down my neck and was headed towards my heart when they finally brewed up the right mix of antibiotics and pain killers.

The point is: shit happens that sometimes feels like such a bad deal, but ends up being just the right catalyst for changing your life, and starting over. My experience in 2007 was just what I needed. In fact, I remember thinking at the time, that it fealt just like growing up when I would get sick. Of course nobody likes to be sick, but sometimes not having to go take that spelling test, or give that presentation is just what you need. This was just what I needed.  

So after almost two weeks of being terribly sick and missing work, I walked into the office and told my boss I was done. My career as a dog runner would start on Monday.

This site is dedicated to what came next. I'm going to tell you about my adventures, both in the past, and the ones I'm doing right now. I'm going to tell you about what I learned. There are some funny things, there are some sad things. But it's all real, it's all Me, and it's all the Philosophies of a Dog Runner.
