Well, I let it pass without notice. I have now been unemployed for more than one year. Still no likely job prospects. I've been on a few interviews this year, but they have been few and far between. Who knows, maybe Bush is accidentally right and there actually are new jobs in the pipeline so that I will have a chance to start working again.

In the meantime I've lost weight, rebuilt my deck, sold part of my comic book collection, started teaching my son to drive, been in a few plays at a local community theater, and continued to serve on the session at church. All in all, it hasn't been a bad year, except financially. I am and will continue to be grateful to the support of family during these trying times.

Who knows? Maybe I'll even start posting more often.
