My fixed income is adequate to satisfy my needs so on a daily basis, not much has changed for me.

However, on a larger scale..... I'm unable to sell my home with a very small profit, due to the drastic downturn of the real estate market. Shucks, I might forgo the small profit and sell for cost ...... but I don't think that will be possible due to the huge amount of cheaper homes in my area. So, my dream to return to Florida will have to wait another year or ???

I got here late so I regress back to the Charlie Brown video...

Happiness is what we make...no one can make us happy but ourselves...

Life is good! Yes, it is! No matter what the circumstance, there is always good to be found.

Munc...you ARE a good man with a warm heart!

Boomer, I thought of you when I received this email today:

THE CANADIAN GUITAR FESTIVAL POSTPONED UNTIL 2009
Greetings all:

The 5th edition of the Canadian Guitar Festival was set to be the 'pivotal hinge' in terms of economic sustainability. If the festival broke even by this time (or better!) , then we would be on our way to seeing this event through the years to come.

We started in Odessa Ontario in 2004 at the local fairgrounds, where we pursued our first three seasons. In June of last year, my partner Pam and I purchased a campground business here on Loughborough Lake. In just thirty days we we able to prepare the property for the guitar festival and it went pretty darn well. ( I am reminded of that Holy Grail scene with the father explaining to his son about history of 'swamp castle' ;-) - anyway..here we are - or were perhaps, with the advent of the fifth edition and a campground to improve on in simultaneous fashion. All good, all fine..except for one thing - advance ticket sales were looking too thin. The culprit? The price of gas and the effects therof on our daily realities....

... Take care people...we are in a changing world. May we create our very own, if but for just a weekend next year..

Now I've never been to the Canadian Guitar Festival, and I don't know how I got on their mailing list, but it seems a shame that they had to cancel it because of gas prices. We are in a changing world indeed.

uuj,

This is just the kind of thing I was talking about. Those little stories. Not the headlines. Those we all know and think about. But it's those little stories.

Thanks.
