Off ramp

which sounds ominous but it isn't. I would write "end of the road" if it was that. It's kind of slow at work so I am using the time to sort through and trash old stuff I don't need anymore. Thirty eight years is a long time as is eighteen years. Add that to my present age and I am getting up there. I am also planning to use up all of my vacation before I go.

I am finally going to play with a band. This one is British Invasion but the members seem to be at least twenty years younger than me so weren't alive when the actual invasion happened. I hope it is better than the Beatles tribute band from October which included an anti-vaxxer. My enthusiasm dropped immediately when he said he had natural antibodies. I resisted leaving but immediately put on my mask which made singing a little difficult. If it doesn't work out I will keep looking.

Curb

I am really glad that Curb Your Enthusiasm is back for another season. I have to say that I wasn't familiar with it back when it started. I had a few co-workers who really liked it and would laugh together about the various episodes they had seen. I never subscribed to HBO back then so, in addition to missing CYE, I never saw The Sopranos and The Wire when they were first shown. I caught up with both of them eventually. But I didn't really watch all of CYE until I was unemployed for a year in 2013. It was instead of sending out resumes and polishing my LinkedIn account. It was a nice distraction and better than the profoundly depressing In the Air, which I also watched during my year long sabbatical. That was also recommended by a colleague. 

(Previewed this post and really need to update my profile.)
