Yesterday I found out that someone else at LHH landed a job.
They played this song on the KGBI in Omaha yesterday morning.
I started chapter 13 of the ASP.NET book.
Jesus told this story of the prodigal son:
It is time to come back home.
They will start on Monday, June 15.
They have been out of work since November of last year.
We were all congratulating him.
Celebrate success.

Nice song.
The song was released in 2007.
Why did it take two years to hear it?
I'm out of the loop apparently.
It talks about
LINQ (Language Integrated Query)

You use something that looks like SQL statements
to get information from many things
that are not necessarily in databases.
You can use it to loop through an array of items.
It is different.
"I will break away and return to my father,
and say to him,

He is worried about you.
He wants you to be safe with him.
Come on back.
Make your prayer:

The Lord offers a gift to you.
for Building a Target List with CRN.
I finished chapter 7 of the PHP book.
I met a few new people
at a networking session yesterday at LHH.
I took some of the brownies I made to share with them.
Some people are very well educated.
Some people are really down.
Pray for all these people looking for a job.
I'm officially retired today.
I saw my first pension check.
I did not receive any letter in the mail saying I was retired.
I did get a mailing on April 23
to pick out a retirement gift.
I guess that was it.
In the newspaper yesterday
it says that I was one of
3,681 people
to leave the company in the last year.
Romans 11:29
Are you open to receive it?
It is there for you.
It is there for the taking.
