what is and is not a necessity

Have been a frequent visitor at the local Library lately since I had no internet access at the house. Most would argue that having internet is an option. When trying to find a job, I'm not so sure. Using the excuse that I'll soon have visitors who expect internet access, I've had it re-installed. If I sat down and calculated the amount of gas I used driving back and forth to the library I might be able to justify the expense, but probably not since it is withing bicycle range. Of course I really don't have enough life insurance to be riding a bicycle anywhere in this area. It's open season on pedestrians and bicyclists all year round here. The job search continues but mostly without enthusiasm. I have gone ahead and used my free southwest flight to plan a week at my daughter's for her graduation with the expectation that I wouldn't be doing anything thing else anyway....probably the perfect time to land a job. We'll see.....
