UP Earlier than the alarm....

I'm not sure why I got up at 4:30 but I just can't lay in that bed a minute more this morning. I'm enjoying my first cup of coffee in the REAL quiet of this day. The cats were fine with me up early - early breakfast for them.

The Newspaper delivery man went by about 10 minutes ago and it must be a pretty easy route now since so many of us just read the News On-line these days. The State always has someone sitting in the front of our grocery store on the weekends trying to get people to subscribe by offering a "FREE" copy of the Newspaper that day. I wonder what has become of the people that used to deliver so many Newspapers- probably a lot of them have had to find new work. When I first moved here in 1982 there were actually TWO Newspaper's delivered each day - The State in the morning and then in the afternoon you could get The Columbia Record. Times certainly have changed. My Mother-in-law gets aggravated with The State as they always end articles with - "read more about this On-line"; she doesn't have or want a computer. I think they are missing the mark with her generation; a lot of them just don't want to embrace the technology.

Speaking of finding new work - Scott has two phone interviews next week for jobs more fitting to his abilities so we have our fingers crossed that something will become of one of them. He really needs to be solving problems for someone instead of doing re-work. Both Businesses are with-in driving distance of our house so we would not have to move anytime soon.
