I heard them before I could see them. Noisy honking, the sound of air beaten by wings. Six geese flew over the tops of the trees in my front yard early this morning. Six geese. Years ago I believed that if I saw six geese flying it was a sign that everyone in my family was happy, well and safe. I believe that still.
I'm a long time banker having worked in banks since the age of 17. I took a break when I turned 50 and went back to school. I graduated right when the economy took a turn for the worst and after a year of library work found myself unemployed. I was lucky that my previous bank employer wanted me back. So here I am again, a long time banker. Change is hard.
