Hey, kids! Remember me?

It's been a hectic week here in Ladera Ranch. I've been attending workshops on resume writing, interviewing, networking and all types of things which supposedly should get me hired. Or at least beyond the HR door! I already have a couple of interviews scheduled, so let's all hope that things will work out and soon. I "graduated" on Friday and will be volunteering with Experience Unlimited a few hours each week until I get hired. It's a great program, sponsored by the state of California and held at various "One Stop Centers" here in The OC.

The weather out here continues to be nice, but that shouldn't surprise anybody familiar with California. We only had one rainy day here the past month, and that was only early in the morning. The last couple of days have been a tad chillier and I actually used the heater to clear the rear windows.

Had a great time last Sunday, when my old Navy buddy Jeff and his fiance, Sue, came down to visit. I haven't seen Jeff since we served on the Waddell together in the mid-70's. Boy, did he look older! :-)

I was happy to find the Los Angeles 'progressive' station KTLK on the AM dial, since I was missing my daily Air America fix. I'm now a big fan of Stephanie Miller and her morning crew. It was a surprise to hear Ed Schultz the first time, since I thought I had tuned into Rush by accident. Initially the speech pattern and voices are very similar, so it took me a couple of minutes to realize it was safe to listen.

If I get a few more free minutes this weekend I'm going to post some comments about the new TV season and such over on Shot's Shack. All the new and returning shows have debuted yet, but I do have some thoughts about what I've seen so far.

Later!
