Summer is gone.
I know, astronomically speaking it's not over yet, but yesterday was Labor Day. The beaches have closed. Kids are back in school. The days have actually started to feel shorter. Baseball is wrapping-up. Football - and hockey - are on the horizon. I didn't go anywhere. I didn't do anything.
What the hell happened? Where did the time go? How could I have been unemployed for 15 months already?
Carol and I don't have kids. I've kind of regretted that during the last few years, but with the way the world as turned ugly over the same years, perhaps it's a good thing. Danielle van Dam. Jennifer Short. Elizabeth Smart. Ashley Pond and Miranda Gaddis. Too many abductions - not enough recovered alive. Is this going too far or is it something that will be the norm in the future?
Carol and I had a bad night's sleep. My legs were twitching all night and I couldn't get comfortable. Plus Gracie has been walking all over the house all night. Should be an interesting week.
