HACW!
(Hello again cruel world!)
While it might seem egoistic to think anyone would have noticed my two-and-a-half week absense, I just wanted to say hello again and it's great to be back.
Two and a half weeks ago, I lost my job. It might be a coincidence that my ex-wife, her new husband and I all lost our jobs within a month, leaving my kids with not much in the way of health care, but it's more fun to blame the Bush economy. Screw you, Bush!

The magazine I worked for,
Madison Magazine, decided they needed a managing editor more than they needed a staff writer, and we both knew I'm not good at being an editor. Nor do I really want to be one. So I got "let go." (I love that, "We have to let you go." Like they're giving me permission. Thanks.)
In reality I had been thinking about going back to freelancing, so that's what I'm going to do, some for Madison Magazine, some for other publications. (If any of you know of any magazines or other companies that need a great writer, let me know!) And yesterday I finally got cable internet installed in my home office (actually just a corner of my dining room). So, I'm back!
Now, on to catch up on diaries, tin-foil-hat theories, corruption chronicling, Bush-bashing and all the other fun of dKos!
