I would like to make something abundantly clear.
As of this moment, 9:50 PM on August 31, 2009, there is an inescapable reality that nobody can deny.
Are you ready to hear what it is?
Read it and weep: I am not yet 35.
Thank you. I’m glad to have cleared that up.
NOT YET. Did you hear me?? Not yet. [...]
You thought I’d forgotten to finish my vacation wrap-up, didn’t you? No such luck.
So when we last left our heroes (a.k.a. my family), they were swimming until 11 PM in a hotel in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. Why were they staying in Carlisle, Pennsylvania? Duh – because we were going to Hershey Park the next day (Thursday). [...]

So today I took my kids to a local beach. Me. Myself. All four of them. Three girls and one Boy. See?
Do you see G in that picture? No, you do not, because he was not there. He started work today, but the kids did not start school, and Babysitter Allison gave me some lame [...]

Know what I keep discovering during this job search, I mean aside from the fact that nobody is hiring? Here’s what I keep discovering.
It’s a darn shame I don’t want to do development (also that I would stink at it), because wow, there are a lot of jobs available in development.

That, of course, is my son, and he is peeking through a [...]

We’re home and my head is the biggest blur that ever was. No, really. I can’t think.
Here are a few updates:
The ants are everywhere again, including in G’s keyboard. I’ve taken to killing them with my fingers while I type. I don’t know WHY the ants are everywhere, since my kitchen, and indeed my entire [...]
We just saw Mary Poppins. The show, not the person. Not the movie either, though my parents do own a copy. I mean we saw the show, like, the Broadway one, only it wasn’t on Broadway, it was at The Fabulous Fox, here in St. Louis, MO. The Broadway show is on tour, see, and it toured [...]
Why do I keep applying for jobs I don’t want? I already had a job I didn’t want. A really, really good one. But I quit, because – listen carefully – I didn’t want it. In fact I hated it, which is also why I sort of didn’t do it, at least not on the [...]
[Ed note: I started writing this much, much earlier today.]
Got me another teeth-clenching headache. Stress, you say? What is this stress of which you speak?
The cool part is that this appears to be equal opportunity stress. Clearly it isn’t taking its cues from most of the job postings I see, which reek of discriminatory hiring [...]

G’s first cousin died in California over Shabbos. She was 27 and had complications after going into remission from real bad cancer. I believe it was Graft Versus Host Disease that killed her – I know she had it – though I’m not completely sure. That’s [...]
