Where Have You Been...

Where have I been, indeed.  If this blog has any followers left, may I say that you are among the most loyal, and dare I say fanatical, fans in the whole sartorial world.

In fact, I've been here.  I mean, not staring at a blank page thinking of things of which to write, but here, in the world, by the computer or with newspaper in hand, looking for a job.  Having lost my job of 10 years due to lay-offs, I have been spending most of my time trying to find work, not lose our house, figure out how to pay bills, and so on.  And, after 2 years of looking, not one blasted offer of work.  I did, I am happy to report, hear good things from a variety of popular newspapers here in the USA, saying that my writing is wonderful, but either not the proper fit for them, or that they don't have a budget for any new special columnists anytime in the next century due to our collapsing economy.  Yes, collapsing it seems.  When over 500 people apply for one janitorial job in one small town (not here), something is amiss.  Indeed, most of the jobs I've applied for have over 300 applicants. A lot of people have just quit looking for work. 


So, that's what I've been up to.  I've not forgotten the Well-Dressed Gentleman website, and it will continue.  Next, I suppose I'll write a bit about pajama culture, because that's my morning-time job searching outfit of choice--on with slippers and robe (though it's getting warmer now), obtain the black gold (coffee), and get to the work of looking for paying work. 


So, that article is upcoming.  I have another on the front burner as well.  and if any of you are in a position hire someone for, well, almost anything, or have some good contacts, send me an offer of employment.  Or at least a check...I'm out of gin and the last time a martini and I met was, oh, months ago now.


Pip-pip; future articles en route...
