A few years ago, a group of us ladies decided to get together once a month and have lunch together at a local restaurant. We want to make the effort to be sociable with each other but we also want to support the little local businesses, too. So our once a month lunch will be tomorrow and I’m especially looking forward to seeing my friend Suzi Strauss again.

Suzi moved away two years ago when her husband got a transfer to Chicago. They couldn’t sell their house because the market had started to tank, so they rented it out to a young couple.

Well, its a good thing they didn’t sell it, because her husband got laid off last month and now they’ve moved back here. I wish it was happier circumstances that brought them back to Nashville, but it will be good to see my old friend again regardless.

About the only time I’m interested in eating a hot dog is when I am at a sporting event. I especially like a hot dog when I’m watching a summer baseball game. There’s just something about bleachers, ball players and hot dogs that go together!

I watched the new movie starring George Clooney. It is called “Up in the Air.”

The main character works for a company that is a source for other big companies who need to lay off employees or reduce their workforce. He is a professional firing consultant or something. I don’t think he ever gave his job a name.

It was a good movie. The advertisements did not pique my interest, but I picked up a handful of movies on sale cheap and this movie was one of them. Well worth the $3 that I paid for it, and cheaper than a ticket at the real movie theater.
