In the real world, the news of layoffs just gets worse and worse! Caterpillar announced layoffs of 20,000 today. Since Corby works for Foley, the local Cat dealership, it's kind of scary. We're hoping those layoffs don't trickle down to his area, but we'd accept any prayers you have to offer.

And how about the news concerning the paramedic who is charged in the John Travolta $25 million extortion plot? How sick is that? Someone trying to make money off of the loss of a child? What is this world coming to? I hope the guy gets the book thrown at him and he rots in jail!

And a quote for this wintery Monday: "Be yourself. Who else is better qualified? You may be disappointed if you fail, but you are doomed if you don't try." -- Beverly Sills

My prayers are with you and Corby, Linda. It just makes me so sad to hear of all of the jobs that have been lost. Good vibes...good vibes.

Fun times with Lenore

While Lenore and Daniel were here, she had a library book panel at the Johnson County Library in Overland Park. So, on Tuesday afternoon, November 27th, Lenore, her friend Rachelle and I took off for KC. We had a great time visiting on the way up and back, and I didn't get tired at all driving! We stopped for a quick bite to eat at Arby's and filled up with gas at QT before heading to the library. It was an interesting panel featuring Bethany Hagen, author of Landry Park, which comes out next year; Gennifer Albin, author of Crewel, which was released a few months ago; and Lenore, whose book will be released on January 15. Here's the panel: Me & Lenore: Lenore & Rachelle: Gennifer, Bethany and Lenore

VACATION

On vacation for a few days (return to work on Thursday)...here's where I wish I was... I plan on enjoying some peace and quiet...and possibly, if I get motivated, getting some cleaning and organizing done in the office area of the basement. We'll see if that motivation arrives (it's not here yet)... Good news for Park City residents...recycling came to town the first of January. We are charged $4.00 month (added onto our already high water bill); but it has lowered the price of our trash pickup. The company P.C. contracted with has a much lower price than the company we use. Our company matched the price, so our trash bills went down (considerably) AND we get to recycle. We can recycle almost all our plastics, newspapers, cardboard, aluminum cans, cereal boxes, glass, motor oil, etc. We've got two big bags to set out tomorrow. Just doin' our part for the environment. We are without hot water right now...our hot water heater needs a new thermo-couple? It's a fair
