Recession news from chnn
I’ll be interviewing one of the newest of the newly unemployed this evening, my buddy Aaron next door who just got laid off today, and seeing a visiting friend, Jo, from back in the old days, when I was the Production Manager at Ballet Oregon, 20-some years ago and she was our premier soloist dancer, and now is an executive with the California-based catering company that feeds, quite elegantly, Nike and such. She no longer has to stick on false eyelashes to be the Queen of the Wilis or the Fairy Godmother and I don’t have to hang lights and drive trucks all night, and neither of us have to stay in crummy motels for our “art” and the pay is much better, too. Taking the long view for a moment here…. But neither Aaron, Jo or I are very sanguine about the economy, for different, but not unrelated, reasons.
More later on this CHNN station, and on CHNN News Overnight.
It sounds like this evening will be the perfect time to dust off a bottle of your very best. Consoling a friend in need and catching up with a friend from long ago are two of the best activities around. You’ve get both for a daily double.
No dust gathers on bottles around here, Jim. Aaron’s on his way over right now.
Ahh. The perfect recession-proof business: liquor stores in Portland.
She’s pissed …

That’s a classic, Dirigo. Not having Savitch at CHNN is a terrible loss.
Billo …

The planets aligned at this time — consider it omen and yourselves rightly placed and timely choreographed in your lives.
Here’s some TV entertainment for your evening: The latest 8 hours in 8 frames as the world turned — there are 7 or 8 billion lives on the Big Ball, yours are 3 of them — showing the shadow of the Moon crossing Asia and the Pacific Ocean during the longest eclipse of the Sun (6 min. 30 sec.) for the next 125 years.

And if you play with variations of the different knobs and buttons, options and parameters, in the ‘Webtheatre’ scene, there is entertainment if not glorious mundi galore. Of course, tomorrow night “the latest 8 hours” shows something different.
Oops. Problem. That link didn’t go right. Try this one, as advertised:

Those are lovely pics, CH. I have a problem with heights (as in–I’ll jump [can't help that phobia]), but for those who can enjoy such things, that’s really great. Your skills on display are really remarkable, and I mean that.
Also, I lost my job not too long ago, so I’m in the same boat as your friend; that is, unemployed.
But I have hopes.
Sorry, one and all; don’t know where the “f”–that general mispelling–came from; (have I revealed something? Am I about to have a fitmothy?) I am, and always shall be, timothy3 (if you don’t mind a Mr. Spock paraphrase).
I recognized you, misspelling and all….T3. Thanks.
