Mike,

Out of the blue I got a call from a previous employer. Met with the VP for lunch on Monday and we both knew why I was there and it had nothing to do with salad and ravioli.

Long story short he went looking for me, I respect this man tremendously so it was an easy decision to tell him yes. They are working everything up now so it should be set in concrete in a week or so.

The plan is to start in January - still have my fingers crossed as the fat lady ain't singing yet. It would require a daily drive from my place at 35th and Bell to just south of Pavillions, hence my desire for AC and a more fuel efficient, comfortable, stereo-equipped ride.

I should have a better answer by the aniversary party.

In a funny way I was really enjoying my vacation (this is week 8). If all goes as planned I will get another month off - this time I won't have to waste time looking for work!
