Congrats, Rick. Whatever the circumstances, I hope things work out great for you!
A few years ago, after working for a company for 5+ years, I decided to leave with no new job lined up. I left because it simply wasn't what I wanted to do anymore and I had enough $$ to get me through for a while. One of the best decisions I ever made.

Started a new job on Monday. This is my first "real" (read: living wage and decent benefits) job in about 1.5 years, just been scraping by on what I could get since a layoff from last real job back in Aug. '08. They say it's recession if it happens to your neighbor...

Does this require Senate approval?

He'll have to get his vaccinations.
The government is only proposing to freeze discretionary spending, and from what I've heard, Rick is ANYTHING but discretionary...
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

Why, is he going to a NASCAR event?

Hey Todd! Thinking about you. Hang in there!
I am fortunate to have a great job that feeds my family well, but music feeds my soul.

Thanks for the well-wishes...almost 3 weeks now and still stink-free. I feel like I've won...I don't even have thoughts of smoking most days any more.
UPDATE:
I am now also douche-free. Few of you will understand what I mean, but it feels great, anyway.
Salud!

Fit the 21J/cases, Tuba Tamer, music stand, music bag and chair into my new-to-me Kia Rio hatchback - whew. Playing the concert tonight was easy after that - except for The Cowboys , that piece is a real workout, at least for this duffer.

I finally got the meet Da Bloke in person. We met in Nashvul when he was driving back to Memfus from the Conference. He picked up the Schiller 4/4 case I had for sale (complete with customized rims) and I swapped out my recently acquired BlokePiece #1 underpart for a #2; I found in a large ensemble the sound on the Schiller was just a hair strident with the #1; the slightly mellower #2 should be just the ticket. If I had the dough, I would have been happy to keep the #1 as well, especially for soloing. Bravo to an excellent design.

That's nothing... my tuba is dead, and often I wear my best clothes and prop it up on my lap
as though I was actually playing it! Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

They come so highly recommended, it's time I see what all the fuss is about.
My Cronkhite bag came today, and it's fantastic! Brown cordura w/black trim. Fits like a glove! Awesome!
