For Ed, With Love

Enriched Geranium is feeling a little depleted today, having been informed that his temporary lay-off has now become permanent. If anyone tries to tell you that the economy is doing well, spit in their eye (figuratively speaking, of course.) Two years ago the company he worked for -- a high-end construction/remodeling company -- had more jobs than they could handle. Ed was laid off more than he worked this past year. Thank you, Jo-ji Bush. Where will you work your magic next?

The silver lining is that perhaps this will create real space for Ed to pursue his true passion (other than me and the kids, of course) -- music.

This is a great song, by the great Peter Gabriel. (I always thought Kate Bush was a little hard to take, however.)

Thanks, Suzy. I'd forgotten about that song. Things will work themselves out (I hope.)

I'm sorry and hope things get better. Also space for music sounds promising.

Kate Bush hard to take? I worry about you sometimes.

Suzy said...

I'm sorry, dear. I've never been a Kate Bush fan.

Weird. The first time I looked at this post, using Safari, my default browser, there was no text, just the title and the video. Looking at the comments, it appeared I had missed something, so I lloked at it in Camino (Firefox optimized for the Mac.) Zounds! There was text to go with it! Now I wonder what else I've been missing.

So virtual blog-world marriages are just like the real world?

She talks but he doesn't hear?
She writes but he doesn't read?

Oh, I kid.

I am starting to feel like a peeping tom....

I'm sorry about this. Lay-off's suck. But Kate Bush? Did you know that she is Nicole Kidman's sister? I am NOT making this up. The two stopped talking after Nicole married Mr Scientology.

Ha! I had heard that she was J.K. Rowlings' illegitimate love child.

Ed said...

Wait a minute! How old is Kate Bush and how old is J.K. Rowling? Maybe Ms. Rowling is Kate Bush's love child. By the way, I hesitate to even mention it, but I never cared much for Kate Bush, either. Please don't hurt me, all you Kate Bush fans! I must be missing something when so many people with good taste like her music.

Oh, now that hurt. I loves me some Kate Bush. She's the only celeb type person to whom I ever wrote a fan letter. I got a press kit from EMI back in return (no note), but I still love her. But yeah, she's not to everyone's taste...
