Sadly that is the case this week.  As previously noted here, John finally found himself a great job even in this economy.  My wife is unemployed, but collecting disability, because the week after she was laid off after 30 years with the same company, she dislocated her hip, and had to have major surgery to replace some of the worn-out parts.  This week, Qwest Communications, which employs yours truly, had a major lay off, including one manager and several of my peers.  I have been informed that in addition to Call Center I am now the expert on selling hosting as well.  I am very grateful that I have my job, but Hosting is an entirely new field for me.  I am familiar with it, and I will train myself to be an expert, but frankly, I am already very busy.  It is good to be needed.

Will someone please pass the jelly donuts?

John is taking a break from the Blog this week so there is no updated chart on our progress.  His first week at a new job so we all know how stressful that can be.

We have the last regular season softball game of the Winter League tonight.  I have 5 regular players on the disabled list:

1. Plantar Faciatis

2.  Broken Finger (game injury)

3.  Recovering from unknown minor surgery

4. Laparoscopic surgery for bleeding ulcer.

5. Recovering from Pneumonia

The most difficult part of managing senior softball is finding enough players each week who can, and want to play.  As you can tell from the numbers, I have to carry 16  guys on the team to be sure I have 10 who can play.  The list above does not include a torn bicep tendon, and torn achillies tendon, and broken thumb.

Every Monday I recommit myself to this process, I will be fit by this time next year.
