Among the unemployed
Day 1 started off with the community yard sale. For me this meant sitting on the sidewalk among piles of used baby gear for a few hours, reading and chatting with neighbors. Bob stopped by, looking for barbells and sharing stories about work-related stress. I've had worse Saturday mornings. The take was $30, not enough to cover the mortgage but it did pay for our lunch in the afternoon. I also spent some time fooling around with our new cell phones, though I haven't got my handset yet -- the salesman muttered under his breath that a new model might just be announced on Monday, and advised me to wait until then.
