Life comes out of left field sometimes. I remember when I was laid off from my last full-time job. I had it all: a nice salary, stock options, insurance, and a 401k. By all auspices, I was set. More than set, I was really happy. I loved my co-workers. I really enjoyed the work I was doing. The boat was sailing on smooth seas. Then, the typhoon hit.

Ok. So, I am a bit early for Groundhog Day. But, if you read this column, maybe your can crack the code to one of your patterns by then. A life pattern is nothing more than a message for you to pay attention to. I will give you an example from my own life.

This narrow victory was described as a "Democratic defeat," which is a little much considering that Georgia-6 has been Republican since the 1970's.
