second try at this

So I have now returned to this blog and realize that I really should keep it up...since it is now May and I have moved to Chicago. Yup, I took a job here having never even visited the city... And for that matter, who moves to Chicago in January? I do! I am now working in the field I wanted and doing work that is meainingful to me. The trade-off is that I am still broke and in debt up to my ears since the pay is not stellar. This makes me a fairly typical American.
I am part of an organization that is celebrating the landmark target price of regular gasoline at $4 per gallon at a downtown location on N Wells. Let's just say that we are not a car driving crowd. I am with my people!
I am now adjusting to meeting a whole new kind of people. I am originally from Pennsylvania, and have family there. I lived in Texas from 8 years old to 31 and was happily brainwashed so that I love Texas and it's culture despite it's obvious flaws. I lived in the Northwest for 2 years and have come to appreciate the nice and polite interactions of the Seattleistes. I moved to Massachusetts and Worcester to learn of the term "Masshole" with their direct communication style. I enjoyed it to a point. Now I am in the Midwest. I am interested to see how that plays out. Bring it on...
