And I keep reading references to this time we are in as a possible Depression.  Not sure what the definition of that is if you're an econogeek. But damn! How many more jobs can be lost?  There are many snarky things I could say but I'll leave that to people who do it for a living. Like Jon Stewart.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So far things are okay here despite the loss in business.  I'm nothing if I'm not prepared. I'll keep it going, even though my music income is about 10% of what it normally is this year so far. There are still many things that can happen but it's a queasy feeling when your business depends on a whole bunch of maybes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm in that place again where survival trumps creativity. It also trumps social time on the web. But I'm not giving it up altogether.  Slowly I endeavor to stay in touch with my many cyber pals and real life pals who use the web. I've actually been richly rewarded lately in that regard.  The coolest thing about having been a teacher is that there are so many lives you've touched that some of them stick with you through the years.  It was worth all those years of totally crappie pay.  There are laborers and office folks who made more than I did but they can't make the same claim.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think we'll mostly come out of this downturn for the better. At least I know that's true for me because that's the way I think. Thoughts are things.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8861532-8075043772892389294?l=www.budbuckley.com%2Fblog%2Findex.html' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.budbuckley.com/blog/2009/01/thoughts-are-things.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Bud)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>19</thr:total></item></channel></rss>
