Things good, and things not so good

Not so good: Several folks I know, near and far, are dealing with major life changes at a time in life when they're probably not expecting it (yes, there are times that upheaval is normal: think 6th grade, think college). One example: we heard earlier this week that *another* major employer in the region we just moved from is going under--and this means lots and lots of 30, 40, and 50 year olds with comfortable lives are out of work. As we *finally* have moments where we feel like adults (it's fleeting, but it does happen), the thought of suddenly having the rug pulled out (or the paycheck snatched away) is frightening. I so feel for those families that are having to completely retool.

Good: The good thing: after having it as a new year's resolution for, oh, ten years: I've signed up for guitar lessons! I'm so, so excited. They start in February--so we'll see how they go.

Technicalities: And one more technical note: is it even possible to have multiple google/blogger identities off one email address? I'd like to keep this blog separate from my work blogs, but I have my work email hooked to this blog and to my others...hmm. I've looked through blogger q and a's and can only find the advice to go in and change my userprofile each time. That seems kind of clunky?
