My Horoscope Today - Interesting...
"Becoming closer to someone else is a very rewarding sensation for you right now, but it could also be negatively affecting your sense of independence. This is a natural dilemma that you should be aware of, not a problem you should run away from. You are going through a wonderful transition in your life, and today is a good day to look for balance between the life you led alone and the life you will lead in partnership with someone else."

2006: Looking Back Moving Forward
2006
It's one of those years where I was kind of on auto-pilot. I spent a lot of time working and didn't travel as much as I would have liked. Two of my very good friends left the Bay Area in search of greener pastures: Trish went to sunny San Diego and Shawn and his partner went further South to Atlanta. It just kind of happened, quite suddenly.
Trish, I still miss our daily milkshakes. I never get tired of seeing you everyday because you made me smile.
There are some significant events which I would like to remember as time goes by. And I would like to share them with you:
New Addition to the Family: Teddy
He is the most affectionate cat. He came to us a sickly kitten. Now he is such a joy, a purrfect companion for us and for Calvin, our other gentle kitty. Teddy, you are a blessing.
New Job
I left Knight Ridder in April. It ceased to exist soon after. It was sad for a great newspaper publishing company. Now I am in a high growth hi-tech company and love it. The environment is fast pace and non-routine and it is nice to be amongst so many talented and intelligent people.
Funny Girl came to Town
On November 13th, the legendary Barbra Streisand came to town. Thanks to Bob who sent me a link to the pre-public ticket sales, I wasted little time buying tickets. It was a dream come true. She was relaxed and appeared to enjoy herself. Her voice was divine. The lady who sat beside me was all verklempt and sobbed throughout the concert.
Barney
You are my rock. You took care of the yard, the roses and the plants. You cooked the most scrumptious meals for us everyday and you took care of me. Thanks for the breath-taking sights in Washington. Those migrating salmons are unreal! There are countless memories that I will cherish for a very long time. Thanks for sharing the year with me.
Victory
Extreme right wing agenda loses steam; corruption and incompetance exposed. Americans have spoken and let's hope the party of intolerance spends some time reflecting on its divisive policies that are so destructive to world peace and the environment.
2007
Now what?
We have decided to move on. I hope we can be friends forever because I care and I worry for you all the time. We still have each other.
Cheers to body, mind and spirit. And to 2007, I quote the Funny Girl:
ON A CLEAR DAY, I CAN SEE FOREVER

A Posting on MSNBC.com
I think if Jesus came back and saw what Republicans do in his name, he'd kick some serious butt.

The next Exciting Chapter
Some of you received this e-mail from me today:
My Friends
Here's what my Horoscope says today:
Maybe you have your eye on a promotion at work. Maybe your ambition is pointing you in another direction altogether. Are you considering changing workplaces entirely? Or maybe you've been nursing some sweet dreams of a career switch. Whatever your goals, today is a good day for moving forward.
On that note, I thought today is a good day to let all of you know that I have decided to make a career switch. This also gives me the opportunity to greet those of you whom I have not faithfully kept in touch.
Many of you have probably heard in the news that all of 32 Knight Ridder newspapers have been sold. Adding to the uncertainty, the new owner, McClatchy, has decided to re-sell 12 of the newspapers. San Jose Mercury News, which is where I am currently working, is one of them.
I have always wanted to move to a high growth hi-Tech industry and the pending sale of Knight Ridder gave me that motivation to go job hunting. Regardless of how calm I may look to many of you, interviews stressed me out. That said, I must say I am getting quite skillful at it.
I have accepted a managerial position at xxxxxx and will start my new position on April 17th. My Mercury News email account will be disabled this Friday April 7th.
Let's keep in touch.
Warmest Regards,
My Friends
