FINALLY!

The "experts" finally agree, most of the US population has been feeling it, now the experts agree that we ARE in a recession (or at least over 70% of them surveyed).

I wonder what 'ole Bush has to say now!

I think that there are opportunities to still be had in this time of relative stagnation though. I'm finding that there's not enough time in the day to get done what I need to, so I'm having to better manage my time.

True, some of the things I choose to spend time doing could be cut out to make room for others, but then I wouldn't be having any fun.

I just think there's an upside to all of this that we all need to keep our collective eyes on.

Ever the optimist,
