Changing Oars In Midstream

Changing oars in midstream is never a good idea……
At least if you are rowing in the Olympics….
You’ll never get a medal that way…..

The coxswain or “coxsun”….
spends his or her time yelling at the rowers to keep them in time…
like the drummer in all those REALLY bad Roman movies so popular 
about 40 yrs ago…..
My little brothers used to love them….
what with all the gladiators and lions eating people and stuff…..
But…..
It’s really bad if one rower decides, 
“I think I’ll just row to the beat of a different drummer”…
Whoops!
I recently changed oars in midstream but since I’m the only one rowing here, 
and not exactly in contention for an Olympic medal…..it was just fine…
In fact, it worked out pretty darn well….
I started out in one direction…
And ended up with a new plan

A few weeks ago, I found out about the
first ever
super exciting,

Yahoo…!
finally, something within driving distance that I could go to!
I was SO excited……
Then……
I received an invitation to be involved in a Vintage/Antique Market!
Yahoo…!
finally, something within driving distance that I could go to!
WAIT….
YOU’RE KIDDING RIGHT?
THE SAME WEEKEND?
sigh…..

So, I let my friends know that 
“no, sorry, I can’t meet all you
 wonderful 
and creative 
and talented 
and funny 
and awe-inspiring 
and “I wanna be just like you” people……

I mean after all,I’ve been 
waiting, 
dreaming, 
wishing, 
pining for 
something like  
Kane County 
Rountop
Brimfield…..

or anything even remotely similar…….
A market opportunity could give me a nice 
kick start in the business panties
if you get my drift…….
Well, as God would have it, 
(because that’s who is directing this boat here)
I needed to change oars in midstream 
you know, go another direction….
now the Market isn’t happening for me 
BUT…..

I’m goin……
I’m goin……
I’m goin……
Yeah baby……….
COUNT ME IN!!!
Are you in the South?
