I doubt anyone is still reading this after my little 6 month hiatus, but just in case. So what has happened the last six months? More than you care to know. So how about some brief points to get you caught up, so to speak.
I am very excited about a friend of mine that will be moving to New York soon. She will be the second of my friends to relocate since I touched down almost a year ago. You can never have too many good people around you and both additions are friends that I care very much about.
Recently I joined the nearly 5% of Americans that are currently unemployed. It happened just before Christmas. One of my favorite statements I heard from friends (God love them) was "That's a terrible time to get laid off." This is true, but I wonder, is there a good time to lose your job? I do have one request for the next company that can no longer keep me, please do it in the summer. This is twice now in the winter. At least let me be able to sit outside for 10 hours a day while I job search.
Speaking of Christmas, the holidays were great. I spent a week in sunny Florida with my mom and then a week in Ohio with the childrens. They was good. It had been the longest period consecutively I got to spend with them since moving to NY. Both seemed happy, at least as happy as you can expect them to be while going through this whole experience.
Just before I left I got my official welcoming to NYC. Two guys decided that they needed to have my $20, debit card with about $75 in the account and corporate credit card. The cards were canceled immediately and your hero escaped unscathed. If the events didn't have a violent theme, it actually would have made a great Apple commercial. I handed my wallet and cash over within seconds, but protected my iPhone like a bear would defend her cubs. The assailants stated they had a gun; however, I was unrelenting. After a few minutes they ran off, and I still had my baby...I mean phone.
Ohio State played in yet another BCS game. I was bummed they didn't win, but felt they played well enough to get some respect back from the previous two years disastrous performances.
That's pretty much the long and short of recent history. Everything prior is kind of a blur. I know that tends to happen in life and New York seems to intensify the haziness. Until next time, stay classy internet perusers and I promise to not be a stranger.
