Zirk's Irks is back!After a lengthy hiatus I am ready to give the world a piece of my mind again. Just a few things have transpired in the world since I last logged in:
-My mother passed away
- The economy went to shit
- Real estate went to shit
Fortunately I invested in a very upscale refrigerator box under the off ramp to Route 83 and the Stevenson, so I get to pay no taxes and yet still have a Burr Ridge address. As they say - location, location, location.
No, I still own my home, although I'm afraid to think of what it is worth. I'm thrilled that we are in the midst of the worst economic downturn since the Depression, and that our standard of living will definitely be lower than that of our parents'. And if you knew what my parents' standard of living was, you'd realize that was not a very high hurdle to clear.
You can pretty much throw out all of your economic reference books, because this is all uncharted territory now! And like explorers sailing off to the horizon, we have no idea if we are heading towards a future of wealth and streets lined with gold, or right off the edge of this flat planet. Exciting!
But at least there is the internet. The vast, soul-draining siren-song vacuum of the internet. That's where you'll find me!
Stay tuned for more irks. Like a runner training for a marathon, I'm just getting warmed up.
(Did I mention I broke my hip, training for a marathon last year?)
