I've been absent for a while

For those of you who missed me (more than one or two I hope) there is a simple reason. I finally got a new job. I was out of work for about 6 months and finally landed a good job. The trouble is I have to commute to NYC every day. That's about 2.5 hors each way.
I' trying to get back in the rhythm of posting, but the only time I'm going to have for a while is the week end. I'll try to make my posts interesting and timely, but there is no guarantee of that. some of you probably think they never were. Be that as I may, my posts should start appearing again this week end.
I'm happy to be back. I missed the chatter and stimulating conversation.

Michael

    Goodness, when do you sleep? My Dad always said when I left home, it would be only once, no returns - responsibility training. So, when I went to work for OSU years ago, I lived over an hour away, which was much longer in winter and worse as you neared campus, where a couple blocks could take 45 minutes. I used to carry a packed suitcase in winter. It was dark when I set out and dark when I got home. I was so glad when I passed to probation period and could move closer - never to return home to live.
    Good luck to you and stay healthy! Being responsible can be a tough road.

    Congratulations on the new job! Jobs are becoming more and more of a rarity in the economy of our Dear Leader, The One, Barack Hussein Obama (mmm, mmm, mmm).

    Congratulations. We all do what we can here, there, everywhere. And if the job is good, even better. Take care and don't burn out on the road.

    Clearly you haven't spent much time in DC ;^)
    Not defending NY, as it isn't a favorite place any more. I really enjoyed it about 30 years ago, but that apple just isn't enjoyable as it was then.
    Congrats on getting the job, Michael. Hope it works out well.

    I missed you! I float in and out myself.
    Post as you can - and congrats [I think] on the new job. [The "I think" is because is believe firmly that If there were to be a hell, it would be New York and its environs.]

    Wow - 2 1/2 hrs each way? That's going to get old and fast.

    It's good to have a job, even under such circumstances. Good luck.
