Something tells me that, given the opportunity... <br /><br />No substitute for those mountains and running trails that you don't have to drive to access.<br /><br />But, alas, for now we remain firmly entrenched in the midwest.

Of course, there is that matter of several hundred miles of separation. I guess that doesn't qualify us as local after all. Sigh... <br /><br />In fact, our closest friends are mostly out of state. Part of the problem with having lived in multiple states, I guess. We have good friends in Michigan, Baltimore, DC, AZ, and most places that don't have IL in the address. A few, yes. But not so much around the neighborhood. Now Su... yep, she's making plenty of friends. School will do that. But between parenting and work, not too many other opportunities.<br /><br />In fact, I had a long-time friend over this weekend. Hadn't seen him in over 3 years. Met the new missus and everything. Had a wonderful time. Made me realize how much I miss that "friend" nearby.<br /><br />Hang in there. Work will be calling soon. And perhaps even opportunities for friendships. Given your nature and personality, that should not be difficult. Some people have a way of making others comfortable right away. You have that ability. Now you just need someone ready to receive... :-)<br /><br />And congratulations. Best wishes for a successful new start in the work force.epotahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07613227327846219065noreply@blogger.com
