The adventure has finally begun!

There is no way I could ever fully explain how horrific it was moving my things into storage. I will say that there is no way I could have done it without my youngest son Andrew who came from MT to help. I gave him my car as I will have a company car and so no longer need it, but trust me, that car doesn't come close to repaying him for all he did. Thanks Ang!

I have been in training near Baltimore for the last week and a half and it has been a lot of information, but I feel comfortable with it and am really looking forward to beginning the job proper.

This past Sat.. the five of us who have been training took the Metro into DC and checked out a couple of the Smithsonian museums, the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial. It had been a long time since I had been to DC and it was a lot of fun.

On Sun.. I drove up to New Oxford PA, where I lived for a few short months in the mid 70's and to Gettysburg, which is nearby. It was interesting to see how some things had changed so much and other things remained the same. I'm hoping to get back there again.

This coming Sat, I am hoping to make it to Lewes DE, it was recommended to me, and I want to hit DE as it is the only state east of the Mississippi I haven't been to. :-)

I will try to do a better report about that trip and hopefully have some photos to share. Training ends Friday and from what I understand I will be traveling to my first assignment, a suburb of Chicago, on Mon.
