...so sorry for everyone who has recently been laid off. At my age, I'm sure the only reason I'm still working is that I work for myself. At least if I don't eat, the blame lies squarely on me and not some heartless mega-corporation.

I wish you all better luck this week and in the future. Don't take it personally and get out there and pound the pavement before you get too depressed. Or if you are brave and foolhearty like me, start your own business. It isn't that difficult if you have a good idea.
