"On the fourth day of Christmas ..."

Hello to of you thousands of people who daily scan this blog for just a taste of my exciting life. I am here to satify your curiosity!

• Christmas came ... Christmas went. I am still unemployed (since August 20) Lila and I tried to tone down our Christmas accordingly. We bought a pretty $75 "black hills pine". The Springfield Fantastic Four spent Christmas eve at Kevin and Janet's house with 11-ish of Janet's family. Kaylee was the hit of the party. It's amazing how a 20 lb. girl can make impact so many people.
  
• We plan to visit my sister Roxanne this weekend in the San Antonio area for the first time since Lila and I got married.
  
• I plod with my job search. It is droll marketing a 60 year old EE. Memories of career disappointments often re-visit me like Scrooge's ghosts. Still I search for a job for family and the Illinois Department of Employment Security (IDES). I sometimes "hone" my engineering skills by generating documentation for my old Compass and Maintenance Meter projects. I hope to put the project documents on the to "showcase" my talent ... Alternatively maybe I can just come up with a "better mousetrap" idea and market it somehow.
• Regarding romance, c'est la vie, c'est l'amour.
• Well, back to the salt mines ...
