Two years ago today

Two years ago today I was laid off from a dying company, and that really ruins your holiday weekend. Planners are always the first to go. Since I was buying 6 weeks out, I needed to go six weeks early. I remember getting home at lunch time (at least I got to leave early) and receiving my big box of Stones reissues in the mail, and thinking how I cannot afford to spend a bunch of money on cds when I no longer have a job. I had to quickly learn about unemployment and a dodgy job market.

So today finds me looking at anyone in a potion of power here with an eagle eye, ever watchful for any sudden movements. The irony is that I've been through it before, and now I would almost welcome the opportunity, but I think I'm safe for now.

I don't think I welcome any month the way I welcome September. I'm a fall guy, football and soccer season, cooler temps etc. It's all good. Plus by this time of year I tire of my summer wardrobe, and I'm keen to bring out the sweaters, and long sleeves. Hard to throw down any GQ vibe when you are sweating your arse off.

Gotta run I have a meeting with someone called Larry Berry....banana fanna fo
