Hell on the business world

I just had a thought. I seem to be the kiss of death for companies. My first professional employer was Arthur Andersen LLC. We all know what happened to them. That happened a couple years after I left. The next company, Costello, Strain and Co, a small accounting firm in Chattanooga, TN, also vaporized a couple years after I left them. The company I work for now, BearingPoint, has been a regular in the news from Wall Street for several years now. None of it flattering. Hopefully, this will ride out smoothly and my curse will end.

Arachnaphilia and cow love

So here's the 2006 Halloween gang. The rootin' tootin' cowgirl and her sidekick Arachnid Boy. As you can see, even with goofy costumes my kids are good lookin'. Nothing like eating a celery stick before hitting the streets and getting a candy haul. The little guy was more interested in blowing out the candles in jack-o-lanterns than getting candy, but still had a good time. Big sister scored on her candy. We now have enough to last a year. Hopefully the wife will take it in to school and give it to her students. Next year they will go out as Eddy Merckx and Tina Pic.
