Thanks, guys, for the help! I passed along my rough draft with your comments and Tom ended up sending this:
Thank you for your swift reply; I'm pleased to hear the position is still available. As far as my status is concerned, due to a reorganisation and force reduction, my current position has been eliminated, and I'll be leaving [company] on Friday August 15th. I'll be stepping up my job search significantly in the coming weeks, as this certainly impacts my time horizon for wanting to start something new.
Much more succinct than what I'd advanced!

Hubby saw that in the second before the guy hit the floor said, "This could be messy."
At least men's is over so he can stop having to remember when he used to be able to do those kinds of moves.

Apparently I need to go to the nearest Forever 21 store and try on the b&w striped jacket they have.
Oh, happy wedding day to GC & lovely partner!

And he gets it all from the snackbar at the pool! (In my imagination anyway...he, and fellow Olympian Katie Hoff grew up swimming at the pool I go to here.

I love the snack bar! Cheese fries, ya'll!)
cheese fires taste better after you've got some chlorine up your nose, don't they?
cheese fires? (sorry, couldn't resist)

Did anybody catch the Hungarian weightlifter who lost control of his weight, but not his
grip,
and had his left elbow bent
the wrong way?
