Tonight was my night to work the 5A regionals.....what a hard night. I came home and had a coughing fit that had my family scared. (It was no picnic for me either)

I am trying to let my lungs calm down so I thought I'd catch up here

I hope when you wake up that you are doing much better, Theresa!

Good morning. TGIF!

Amen, sistah! We have really needed rain and we are getting some but it makes getting out of the bed hard. Well, it was for me, but the dog just doesn't seem to care that I could have turned over and gone back to sleep. For some reason she wanted to go out in the rain anyway.

Good morning, DDA!

Tammi - I hope your trip up 95 was not too bad this morning. The traffic there looked brutal on the news!

I am sorry you are having a hard time at work. Plenty of good thoughts that the budget works its self out.

This budget is killing me. I worked 11.5 hours yesterday. I went to Disney with the knowledge that I would have to finish when I got back. It wasn't that far off when I left. I figured, piece of cake. Well no.

I HAVE to have this finished by Monday. Which just might make me have to work this weekend. Which effectively dilutes my vacation.

I remember when Bernadette gave her reason for not traveling this time of year. I have a meeting with the finance committee on Wednesday; meetings Monday and Tuesday. Everything must be on my Exec. Dir's desk on Monday.

I don't think I can go this time again. Not October, not September. So no birthday trip.

We are all checked in for our flight. Tomorrow at this time we will be in the air winging our way to Sunny Florida. We got boarding passes A25 - A30. Not too bad I guess. Of course I did it within seconds of being able to. The first attempt failed as being to early

I need to get ready as I get to do Art with Colby. He has already reminded me

Your boarding pass numbers are quite good, Deb. SW holds 1-15 or 1-16 for business travelers, or some such thing. Our own resident TA told me that when we flew them in June.

Have fun today!

I don't know if you all remember when Kathrin was interviewing for her job that she was "encouraged" to ask questions of the CEO and CFO of the company. One of the questions she posed was, "In a recession how can a diamond company continue to hire?" The response to that question was that generally their clientele is not affected by the small downturns in the economy. Well, this is no small downturn and their clientele (major bankers, wall street financiers, etct.) are not shopping for diamonds. Tiffany & Co. is hurting and so is the company Kathrin joined in March.

Today, along with some of the sales staff and one of the graphics designers they let her go. She is taking it much better than I am, that is for sure.

O no Elin..im so sorry to hear that

Elin I am sure Kathrin will find a new job quickly.

Another couple of observations about our economy:

1. Gas in our area has dropped again. At a local 7-11 I saw the sign change from $2.94 to $2.88 in the span of 20 minutes.

2. Our county school system is seriously looking at closing up to five elementary schools and middle schools here to try to balance their budget, which is in the red. The students would be moved to other schools which are not full. I tend to think there would not be room for all the teachers and support staff that would be left behind. The school board vote is to take place on October 28.

Thanks for your optimism, Heidi! I think she will too.

You all know how Tammi and I go on and on about the local downtown wine bar that has undergone so much renovation. Well, here is a link to an article about the work of the owners and what is going on. I think it is fascinating and hope some of you will enjoy reading and looking at the pictures. Tomorrow night Tammi and I get to enjoy it in person!

Well our school board has had it's second shortfall in two years 84 million this time and the super was so big to offer a 5% cut in his salary. That and let go 1100 teachers and support staff. How big of him and they have let him keep his job. Hopefully that will change soon.

I have this urge to crawl back into bed and pull the covers up today. I just got email from the son of my former piano professor and dear friend. She died last night, just shy of her 94th birhday.

This economic change in our times is far-reaching, isn't it. Hopefully the money being pumped in from all over the world will jump-start a change for the better.

Tammi - with everything going on around here, I may walk up to kybecca tonight and find us a table for tomorrow.
You might want to check to see if I am still there tomorrow night!
