I think I'm losing my taste for the finer things in life.
It's our yearly tradition to go to a restaurant called "Moxy's" on my birthday. Yearly, in that we went last year and we plan to go this year. The food is great, and it's not that expensive, at least not for "fine-dining". It was about fifty bucks for us last year. Except, now I really don't care if we go. It's not that important to me. I think I'm starting to realize that there really are better things to use money for. I'm going to have to buy a new car. I want a new computer. I want to buy the new Photoshop. I want to buy a house. One day, not too far away, we want to buy a kid. (Okay, I know that's the really un-PC way to say "adopt" but that's how it feels. Sounds better than "rent a kid" which is what it technically is: We pay $______ for a kid, keep him around for eighteen years, and then he goes away.) Suddenly, spending money for food like that really doesn't matter. (Money for comics, that's a different story.)
On the money issue, though, and the good news memo, I did just get a new job. That's very exciting for me. It includes an income that's $1.50 more than I make now, and it has benefits. And an office. And a cell-phone, and they'll pay for our internet. Should be great.
Gotta go,
