Sorry about the Hiatus

A whole lot has been going on lately.  For one thing my store has been shut down.  ISC Building Materials in College Station, Tx closed its doors in June and sent its workers scattering around for jobs.  I am now a statistic; a mere unemployment figure.  I'm an addition to the nationwide unemployment number: the 9 or 10% figure has now increased by .000001%, actually my friend John got laid off as well and now we are .000002% to the nationwide number.  So, this is my new phase in life.  I have now put tons of applications together, emails a plenty, resumes and cover letters updated and sent out, and still no job yet.  I have some hopeful prospects out there, but I am continuing to carry on with the search.  If y'all have any ideas I would love to here them. 
I have also been busy hanging out with family, my mom, sister, bro-in-law and their kids, and friends like my old roommate Keith from Colorado State.  I have had a great time and it has felt very much like I am on vacation.  Although it has been relaxing, I hope I do not get too relaxed because I need to start a job soon. So, wish me luck as I continue to apply and search for jobs, and pray that I don't remain a national statistic.
