So I'm visiting my rarely thought of and most under-appreciated little blog : ) for a very necessary revamp of sorts. I haven't yet decided how it's going to play out, but I thought heck, why should I only have something to write about when I'm out and about someplace new and exotic? I mean, East Tennessee is a treasure trove all its own, is it not??? No... I guess it's not. But in a mad attempt to maintain my sanity on this, the day of my official kick in the pants by the Great Recession, I'm giving it a shot anyway. I may need to change the name eventually and choose some sort of centralized topic to add a cohesive element to the whole she-bang (rather than the "Dear Diary" element, which I would like to avoid at all costs) but I will sort all that out later. So I'll just stick with "La vie en rose" striking boldly across the top of the page-- ironic for now, almost like a middle finger to my current predicament or a pathetic cry for help (in French! which is no help at all around here), but hopefully a fitting theme again eventually. Because surely it's only a matter of time...
PS- the title of this post is a shout-out to my boys at Strings and the album concept we are currently tossing around, with 10.2 being the % to which the unemloyment rate spiked in October of last year (highest in the US of A since 1983)-- Rockin' the Recession, baby! : ) We're also considering matching tatoos... Any thoughts?
