It's so nice to be back Blogging where I belong!

Hello, Butchie,
Well, Hello Mammy,
It's so nice to be back home where I belong
You're looking swell, Timmy,
I can tell, Sticky
You're still glowin', you're still crowin'
You're still goin' strong
For the band's playin'
One of my old favorite songs from way back when
So bridge that gap, fellas!
Find me an empty lap, fellas!
TooBusyLivin'll never go away again!

The truth is that after New Year's I had been a bit depressed. I was waiting (and waiting) to hear back from a fabulous job; it all seemed like a pretty inauspicious way to begin the New Year. I had pretty much given-up hope last week when they did call, and I got the job. I am literally beside myself with excitement. I won't mention the name of the restaurant on my Blog (thank's Tucker Carlson!) but you can read about it here. Be very happy and excited for me; this is the opportunity that I have been waiting (and waiting!) for! I start next week. In other great news I have also just started a 10 week program of intensive meditation and other stress-reduction techniques. The program is called Mindful Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and was first taught at UMASS by a doctor named John Kabat-Zin. He is also the author of a book that I have written about before called Full Catastrophe Living.

Anyway, I guess the point is that I'm really happy and excited about several great things that are all happening now; I'm looking forward to the year ahead and feel even better than the song below. Oh, I'm also on a diet. Skinnier Peter = Happier Peter. Every time I get hungry I just click on Jason's new personal website and my hunger just disappears! I may never be a top, but that's how I feel:
