I’ve been thinking that I haven’t been writing much and putting it down to not having anything new to write about, which is total horsepunky, because 2008 is shaping up to be a lot like 2006.

I’m currently employed, but about to receive my last paycheck for a while. The organization I work for has officially run out of grant funds, and the next grant may be months off. That leave approximately one mortgage-sized hole in my budget.

My car is coughing up blood, but nothing so obvious or serious as to be worked on.

The kids are officially out of school for the summer, and about to start day camp, the day camp that cost a bundle because, hey, I need to be able to work during the day. Ha, ha, yes, I get it.

I wiped out an entire section of this site today, not that you’ve noticed because I quickly unpublished anything broken, but MAN was I mad at myself. Any of these things would normally put me over the edge, but frankly, it’s not like I haven’t been here before. It’s almost cozy, in a surreal way.

Speaking of cozy and surreal, you would not believe what we’ve been looking at while having guacamole and beers as a prelude to Tuscan rib eye. There have been fires in the hills, and it’s messing with the atmosphere something fierce.
