Hello, again!

Hi, folks!

Been awhile, ain't it?

Life has been just one fun thing after another.
I'm STILL looking for a job and the market, that I foolishly thought was opening up, has dried up like a grape in the sun.

Or maybe like a prune in the sun.
Either way, the market SUCKS!

My wife had total knee replacement surgery on the 8th of June. She is doing amazing. Walking 5-6 blocks and doing her exercises to stretch her muscles and prevent scar tissue. They don't give you a lot of hospital time now for this type of surgery. Motion and utilization of the joint have proven to be most effective for a good result.
She's been working hard at this and is making great progress. She has an almost normal gait and smooth leg motion. I am very, very proud of her.

So maybe the lack of a job is a benefit. I've been able to stay home and help. Though I'm not sure if I'm a help or a hindrance.

So, she's making great progress, and we're deluded into thinking that maybe things are moving along, and then POW, here we go.

My Mother-in-law (hereafter referred to as THE MOM) falls and shatters her left femur in three places! THE MOM is widowed and Becky is her primary care giver. THE MOM is 87 and, though very capable of self maintenance, does require a fairly large amount of supervision. So, she's now at DePaul hospital waiting to be stabilized so they can perform surgery on her leg.

So, I've got TWO down.

Damn if they aren't dropping like flies!

So, forgive my erratic postings.

Life just keeps getting in the way.

Twit or Twitterer?

Hey guys!

How's tricks?

As one who is searching the job market, I am trying to utilize all available tools to get my abilities out to potential employers. So, I Facebook, I blog (see here), and I Twitter.

I never realized how dangerous this technology can be.

According to gawker.com (also posted on Digg.com), a British man jogging to work ran into a tree while Twittering.

In an apparent poor attempt to multitask, James Coleman of Bristol, England, was posting his latest exploits on the way to work, and, damn, if he wasn't attacked by a low branch!
Gave the man quite a whack resulting in a black eye.

Didn't stop his posts, though.

Such dedication.
Makes me wanna work harder.
