So wish me luck.<\/p>\n<p>My sympathies to all those who just found or will shortly find themselves unemployed in the publishing bloodbath that is going on right now. I know a lot of people are watching their backs very carefully as everything shakes down. I know your pain all too well having been let go during the Ballantine\/little Random House merge. Unfortunately, the industry is very tight and jobs are scarce at best.<\/p>\n<p>That goes for everyone else who is finding themselves shown the door right before the end of the year. My sympathies to all of you. And to those who have been looking for work only to find a lot of doors closing on their feet.<\/p>\n<p>Football should be interesting this weekend. Both college and pro teams have a number of games that really do count towards all the marbles. Basketball is leaving me cold both college and pro which is unusual because usually one or the other amuses me. We have been watching Hockey at the Bowling Alley while bowling in our leagues. Peter has come to the conclusion that every time he looks up, a fight breaks out.<\/p>\n<p>Off to clean the dreaded room.<\/p>\n<p>I am grateful for good job news for us and all my friends.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yet again my coffee and I have not met.
