The good news is that I will still get to keep my health insurance, a significant advantage since I am diabetic and have recently been put on insulin.  Given my previous condition, I doubt very much that I would be able to get private coverage.   The bad news is that at the hourly rate and amount of hours that I’ll be working, I will not be making enough to meet the mortgage, let alone eat. We have savings for a couple months, but things will be very tight for awhile.

So, both my wife and I will be looking for full-time work in the worst economic climate in our lifetimes.  We trust that God will bring something good out of this.  The good news is that we have a great support system of family and friends who love us.  We know that there are a lot of people out there who are in a lot worse condition than we are.

My name is Greg Grant, I live in Columbus, Ohio and my online handle at a variety of sites is woodsmeister (long story, maybe I’ll tell it here some time.  At any rate, I already have two other blogs:

  • FolkBlog - On FolkBlog, I discuss folk music and new adds to my online folk radio station, Festival Radio (see widget in the box to the left).
  • Pronk Needs You! – On Pronk Needs You! I discuss Ohio sports, more specifically the Cleveland Indians, with occasional musings on the Browns, Cavs, Columbus Blue Jackets and Columbus Crew.

One would think that two blogs would keep me busy enough, and they do, but sometimes I have things to muse upon that are beyond the realm of my other two blogs, such as religion or politics or music that is beyond the bounds of that covered by the FolkBlog.  Those posts will be here.    If you’re interested in my other two blogs, I have links to their feeds in the right-hand sidebar.
