I just realized that 2002 has not been kind to any of my friends. Tom has just been laid off from his job Monday and his car died in January and has no money to fix it. Ray has been unemployed for six months, just got kicked out of the house he was living in and had to move in with his mother, and barely had enough money to fix his car. Phil has never really had a job. Band friend Dominic is unemployed and living with his parents in Encinitas. Band Friend Bob lives in a house next to his in-laws in Ramona whose house just burned down on Tuesday morning. I'm sorry guys, there's been a lot of horrible shit going down. Maybe we should be a country western band from now on.
