Back to work!

Well, drove back down to Indiana on Monday, and started work on Tuesday. Crazy-go-nuts fun? Not exactly, but it is a job, and maybe this time it might lead to something better. What was it that Churchill said about success, and how one reaches it by bounding from failure to failure? Rural Indiana is bleak this time of year - a thin, bitter veneer of snow, and cold. Surely, I hear you exclaim, there must be something worth the effort? Just the job, and that is about it. Oh, and a good buddy down here, too, who has kindly allowed me to stay with his family while I get acclimatized. Yes, actually, I am very lucky - I am surrounded by good friends and family... hmmm... maybe this will be a good year after all!

... In with the new!

So, this is what 2010 feels like... hmmm... Well, so far, so good! Had Osechi on New Year's Day (serious Japanese yumminess). Today, I saw my great, and oldest friend from the PRM, and he honestly looked the best that I've seen him in years. A fun day had by all! Gotta face going back to work down in Indiana - not looking forward to another winter in Mitchell. Here's hoping you all enjoyed the holidays - hope to see you all this coming year!
