Since we have been back west (all of 1 week and 1 day!) we have noticed how friendly people are out here.  By this I mean when your grocery shopping and you need to get around people and you say “excuse me” they say “oh sorry” or something like that.  I could go on with other examples, but I think you get the idea.  In the midwest it just wasn’t like that for most people (not all of them of course…for those of you in the midwest!).  I’m not sure why, but that was the case and it was something that both my wife and I noticed.

Today was my first day at the new job.  It was good to get back to doing something.  I was going a bit stir crazy.  Lots to learn and it’s odd to be the low man on the totem pole.
