Congratulations To Valarie!

Congratulations to Valarie (see photograph above), who starts her new job today at the Jefferson County Action Center, an organization that helps people in need in the western suburb of Lakewood, Colorado.  Valarie believes her work should have meaning and make a difference in other people's lives, which is a very admirable thing, and I wish her well in her new career.  This is in contrast to me, who is in it for the bucks.  In my defense, however, I must explain that I need every cent I can get to maintain my villa in the South of France.  Think of all the people I keep employed over there.  Europe is in trouble, and I am there to help.
