Busy in every way except work, where, due to the government shutdown and the number of furloughed employees, services have been reduced, and expectations are lower. Mine are at the only lower possible place: I am not getting any calls to action.

I rescheduled my LA vacation to approximately the same time as last year; I am making a couple of assumptions, of course. The primary assumption is that the government will not be shut down for six whole weeks. It cost me $150 to change my ticket (reduced from $300 to change it, which would have been 75% of the flight), and if the government is still shut down the second week of November, I'll have to change it again. That is, if I still have a job (my second assumption).

Anyway, the new vacation days (I lost a day, unfortunately) are November 8-17.

Tonight's i am Fool rehearsal was cancelled again, so I went back to the open mic I had so much fun at last week, and played for about four hours straight. Some really good stuff, some not so much, all fun. I made some new friends and saw a couple of people I hadn't seen in quite a while. I even got Chad Bradshaw (my duet partner) to come out and play a set, which was so good, it went very long.

Even though I'm working for an IOU, life is good.
