Too bad. But, at least you are able to get another job not in the high-tech sector... > How are you and Noelle doing? Noelle is hating her job. I, so far, like my job -- 'though I don't feel very social with my co-workers. Although I'm much older than they, more than that, I think it's more of their outlook and philosophy with which I differ and which makes it more difficult to get closer. It's strange. At my workplace, there's a fascade of mellowness and laidbackedness, but really I think they are tense competitive type-A people who cannot relax. I guess I generally feel closer to people who are either in academia or aren't workaholics. > Have you seen my cousin Sue (she has moved > to LA)? No, we haven't, 'though I think Noelle still keeps in touch with her. Perhaps we'll see her on one of our trips to Noelle's dad's house in Santa Barbara.
