I have the threat of a layoff hanging over my head. Nothing is definite, but I figure in a month I should know something definitely. After the initial shock, I'm now getting used to the idea, and I am actually looking forward to it. I could take more classes, trips, work on the yard - my health insurance would fly out the window, which would not be good. Plus, I know two folks with stable jobs who recently got laid off - where would I get another job? But I think I would welcome the challenge.

movie review

It's been forever - who knows if anyone is reading. But here is the latest movie I saw-

Bella-

It focuses on a young man whose soccer career was ended by an unfortunate accident ( I won't divulge too many details). He now works as a chef in his brother's Mexican restaurant. His brother is a bit of a dictator and fires a waitress for being late for the second time. The young man has a big heart and goes off to make sure she is okay. This leads to...an interesting day.

Family, forgiveness, redemption, and choosing for life are the major themes of the movie - it made me cry. I loved it!
