I'm one step closer to dying a roadwarrior king, burned upon a pyre of tires, deaf to the ululation of my soccer-mom concubines.

Who, me? With my mortgage, family, and state job? Um... I'm gonna have to go with "No" here.

I'm prepared for a market crash. I'm probably better prepared than most for total financial chaos. But given the choice, I'd rather not see that. Too many people suffer from that.

I miss Garmr.
I'll say this: In my business, the down times are a lot more fun. I was covering the workplace and labor issues when dot-coms were giving 24-year-old bachelor's holders corner offices and vice president titles, and they flacked me relentlessly to write about their pets-at-work policies and concierge services.
