To say it's been a hell of a year would be putting it mildly. We figured that we should ignore the bad and emphasize the positive, so here goes:
- At least one of us still has our health. (Karen's back has been really bad)
- There's plenty of time for those household projects we've been putting off. (Jeff got fired)
- Shadow and Fred are well.
- There will be lots more space in the house. (Maggie will be moving out in January)
- The car runs beautifully!
- Unemployment Compensation can be filed for over the phone and direct-deposited.
- We got a cable modem. (so we can download slowly 24 hours a day)
- Some employment attorneys accept cases on a contingency basis.
- My brother got married (for the last time).
So as you can see, not everything was bad!
Shadow and Fred send their best. They dictated this because they were too busy wrecking the house to stop and type.
