vrijdag 20 november 2009 Up with alarm. Turn on AM 1090. Ah! There's Bill Press. Then it's Stephanie Miller. Christian Weller, Economist with The Center for American Progress, calls in to talk about whether we are really seeing a recovery in the economy. He doesn't sound very optimistic. This is what he says: Lingering weakness in the labor market is threatening the fledgling economic recovery. Millions of jobs have been lost and unemployment has risen to the highest level in almost three decades. The labor market weakness will make it harder for families to repay their high levels of debt and thus will likely contribute to high foreclosures, credit card defaults, and bankruptcies. Steph - silly Steph - drives the show off the rails with references to The Bionic Man and The Bionic Woman. It's her reaction to the sad economic news.

Chili on rice for breakfast. Up to Kaladi for coffee. Back to my place. The Seattle Times pans the New Moon movie. From the trailers I've seen, it looks exciting.

Streetcar to work. 10 to 11 - I cover for Patty while she does DAP with Robin. Only 4 Sea Otters today. Charmaine's makes a challenging climbing structure by tipping over some cubbies. Alex is excited about it. Caitlin manages to get it, but she asks for my help to get out. I wish that I had my camera. 11 to 12 - Charmaine's lunch. Outside with the Sea Otters. It starts to rain, so we head inside. It's a cold rain, too. I set up lunches while Patty reads Hug to the kids. They love that story!

12 to 1 - Pam's lunch. No diapers. The 7 Dolphins go down for naps. They go out to sleep so fast. 1 to 2 - Teresa's lunch. Pam and I just stare at sleeping kids... until Piper wakes up. At 1:40, 5 Dolphins are awake. 2 - Patty's lunch. The Sea Otters snooze, and I get to leave a little early. Streetcar to d'town. Train to Uwajimaya. Get some Sweet & Sour Chicken, lime juice, Thai tea and lime juice. #550 bus tunnel back to my place. Drop off stuff. Short walk around Denny Triangle. There are some cute kids getting tickets at the Paramount for Wolfmother. Turn on Ron Reagan. A little discussion about Sarah Palin becoming President of the USA.
