Another day in slow motion

The work situation for me is in a state of flux. The one contract that I thought was going to turn into the 'one and only' - is fizzling fast. The overall situation is dissipating. So, I now have to make some decisions. I hate regressing. I hate revisiting situations that I thought I outgrew. At this point in my life, options are dwindling. Shit. On the brighter side, I went to Monterey and visited my friends. I don't have many friends. I am extremely careful not to abuse the term 'friends'. Friends are forever. They either are, or never were. These four (4) friends are from the same family - two brothers and two sisters. The oldest is now 31(?) or so. He's the only one I haven't known since birth. All four are by far the brightest, smartest people I know. All of them make my day - every time I see them.

Onward....through the fog!!

Now that I've created this, the spontaneity has overwhelmed me. Our household is in the throes of a refinance. Here we are, combining the primary and an equity home loan - and the establishment wants to know everything. Mind you, they asked for everything before. True, we are borrowing an relatively inordinate amount of money. Over 30 years time, we will have paid back about 2.5 times what we borrowed. Of course, chances of still being alive 30 years from now is a bit questionable. However, as every homeowner still paying mortgage knows - '90% of the mortgage payment is interest'. Yeah. It's of 'interest' all right. What a bunch of shit. On the brighter side, salmon season starts in about two weeks. And the rockfish season another four weeks after that. Now that folks, is excitement. Well, that's a start. Let's see if I can make this interesting enough for others.
