Just this morning I realized that I had completely forgotten about the SLAS Solstice party last night. My wife and I had planned to go, but after we both had to work yesterday, it just slipped our minds. I was really upset about missing the ATM gathering at Mat's and I guess that cloud just pushed everything else out. I SO wish I had a "cookie-cutter" job with decent hours...manufacturing has just taken all of my free time for going on ten years. I could find another job easily enough, but would make about the half the pay I'm getting now, and with the mountain of divorce-related debt I have, moving into something less lucrative isn't an option for another decade or so, unless I want to live out of a shopping cart. Virtually all of my recreational eggs are in my retirement basket. I may as well just sell the basement full of astro stuff I've accumulated over the last 44 years and find something else to be interested in. I pay club dues but can't even make a monthly meeting. Seems like it's been forever since I haven't had to get up at 4 AM. I hope everyone had a great time last night. Maybe I'll see you there next year.
