Well this is it my first blog posting.


Where do I start...What's up with Owen? What is this about?


Well, we have to start with how did I become known as "Owen". It happened almost nine years ago, when I went to work for my current employer and my two new bosses Karl and Chuck they both agreed I would be hence forth known as Owen. I had to know why they wanted to called me by anything other than my real name. It turns out both of them watched the 1987 movie "Throw Mama from the Train" with Danny DeVito and Billy Crystal over prior weekend before I started my first day and they liked Owen.

I won't talk much about work because it is not where I get my inspiration for this blog.

My interests are:
Boy Scouts of America - Eagle Scout
Order of the Arrow - Vigil Honor, Founder's Award
Investments - Stocks
Ebay - Patches - OA

I have been invloved/participating in the Boy Scouts for 26 years. I started in Cub Scouts when I was 8 and never stopped being involved. I earned the rank of Eagle Scout at 16 and went on too get 2 palms. While I was climbing the ranks to Eagle Scout I was elected to join the Order of the Arrow (OA) and I completed my Ordeal in the Fall of 1988. The OA is where I have given the most amount of time over the last 7 years. I will have plenty of time to talk about positions held past and present, fun times and the great friends I have met over the years.

Ebay is a favorite place of mine to visit, I visit at least once a day. I collect OA patches (this is a topic for the future), Central Florida Council items and anything else that jumps out at me.

Stocks - I like to find stocks that are good for long term investments and stocks that are good short term investments. Goal is to make money. It is a topic I like to discuss but do not have anyone to share my enjoyment with.

I am glad I can share with you some of my interests and thru this blog I will be able to keep you up-to-date on "What's up with Owen?". I plan to post once a day about anything going on in the world or just with me and my family.

Talk to you soon.

Owen
