Take some time off from the dreary

A unemployment number highest in 26 years. A tumbling stock market. Expensive health care and environmental legislation that can barely make it through congress. It's been a rough week.

Today was basically some rough news that we are going to be in this recession for longer. Not that it isn't anything that one of us couldn't have predicted, but its never fun to hear.

My message for the weekend: Don't let it worry you too much over the holiday weekend. Enjoy the fireworks, grill some food, and enjoy an ice cold beverage. Relax your mind, and we'll get back to work on Monday. Until then...
