Life is good.
Tennis is my new late afternoon hobby.
Greg recommended this book called 'Nickel and Dimed' and I finished it up last week. A writer does some investigative journalism and tries to work low-wage jobs and see if she can get by (rent, food, etc.). It really opens up your eyes to a different class of people and living. I was talking to a friend last week and he was saying that government shouldn't help out everyone and that people need to create a life for themselves. I think that's a very easy statement coming from a white male in Naperville. This book shows that that's not always possible as a lot of people are working 7 days a week and living in motels because they can't afford to pay a down payment on an apartment.
