That is the official weekend title. Why? Because every single plan I had fell through. Cancellation. No follow-throughs. No follow-ups. It was always something. If I had made hookup plans, that would probably have fallen through as well. So the weekend ended up being lackluster. But after last week, it was still welcomed.
This is in addition to the fall through of the global financial markets. Merill Lynch & Co. selling itself to Bank of America. Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae getting taken over by the government. AIG takes a $85 Billion loan from the Federal Reserve (in exchange for an 80% stake in the company). Lehman Brothers filing for bankruptcy protection. Best Buy buys Napster. Arbys buys Wendys. Oil prices are wavering. Stock indexes everywhere are dropping! And they say the worst hasn't even come yet.
This is in addition to the horrible tragedy that is Hurricane Ike. My friend in Houston survived, as did his condo and vehicle. Other are not so fortunate.
