Sad times

These are some sad and very hard times for many. So far, my immediate family has been touched only a little by the economic downturn. My dad has had his hours cut back at work, but he still has a job.

However, I've had friends who have been laid off, and now more family stuff. My dad's cousin, Luann, who is just a year younger than me, was laid off yesterday. She is a very talented writer who worked for a newspaper (yeah, I know, bad times for newspapers) in Florida. Here's her blog. Within the last year she's purchased a condo and adopted a cute little dog as a pet. She's a lovely person and a hard worker, and if anyone has work for her (full-time or freelance) I'd love to connect you. Please comment if you know of anything!
