It's Fall

It seems like everything is falling down, down, down...The leaves off the trees. The mercury in the thermometer. The Dow on Wall Street. It's Fall. Or autumn. But Fall seems more appropriate. Look at everything that has fallen off the face of the earth...Circuit City and Linens -n- Things are gone. Bankrupt. Lehman Bros. gone. Looks like Detroit auto manufacturers as we once knew them....also Gone. Received an email from my editor at Daily News Record, THE retail press for the men's wear industry for almost a century. As of Nov. 25, GONE. Most of the gains 2002-2007 in the stock market, and 401-Ks nationwide. Also Gone.

Do you think President-elect Obama has even once looked at his wife and said "OMG, what have we done!?!?!?!" This is a big mess to fix. Good luck. I'm going to feel upbeat about this. Julie
