Recession

This whole recession thing is big. Really big. I thought at first that it would leave me alone, but that's not the case so much anymore. Everybody is cutting back, and one place "they" are cutting back is education. It seems counter-intuitive but it is often the case. "They"are talking about cutting the National Board certification pay out of my wife's pay.

This amounts to about $10,000, and yes it would hurt us if "they" decide to not pay her that amount anymore. To add to it, somewhere, somebody recognizes the quality in the National Boards, and we would likely move to wherever that is. This is in the preliminary stages at this point, but I'm not going to pay Hilton Head prices if "they" don't want to pay up themselves.

It would probably wreck our fiances and generally make a big mess. That is coming, no matter what we do or where we go. But it is still a ways off, we'll see. It's funny, that one place or person would see something of value while another would not. We will try to go where they will appreciate us... where that is, remains to be seen.
