14 Months!

Today at Kraft, a head rolled.  It was JAW Fan's head. Yep. After surviving 10+ years of cuts, they finally called his number. His final day on the job will be in early September.

He took tomorrow and Monday off, so there will be no comments from him here until Tuesday.

He gets 14 months paid. 14 months! I can't stop thinking about 14 months at FULL PAY. It's disturbing to me how much I am envying him. He doesn't have to work in his particular hell hole anymore. That's something to envy, for me.

He sounded fine on the phone. A bit manic, but he'd been into the wine since he got home. Now he can plan the next phase of his life. I find that part exciting. I think his mother is more upset about it than he is. Moms, what can you do, eh?

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Day to all the Moms out there.

Totally unrelated to Mother's Day, Mr. D. says, sorry, this unit is currently occupied. No vacancy.

Weekend round-up

Did everyone watch the Kentucky Derby? It was a really exciting race. That winning jockey is a motor mouth. He wouldn't stop talking. Still. Good for him. A beautiful ride.

In gardening news...let me present before and after pics. Including the lawn inspector at work. 

Sad Day

My man MCA's got a beard like a billy goat.

Such a shame. Adam Yauch died. He was only 47. Ack! No more Beastie Boys.
