A Taste of the Midwest

I've officially said "Adios" to California--and the rest of the West. I am quite saddened to leave the gorgeous mountains and breathtaking coast. After a lengthy & complicated flight to Wisconsin (due to weather), I eventually ended up in Madison at our headquarters. Thirty hours later, my luggage arrived in Madison. As always, meetings at Madison are a highlight of this job. Our team shared many stories and experiences from our travels. It is strange to think that the next time we will all travel to Madison will be in June, when we turn the job over to the new class.

As you are aware, I am now on my way down South with my new Co-Worker and new Mobile. Instead of driving directly to the South, we are spending a week in Omaha, Nebraska. Working one day outside reminded me of how cold it really is in the winter out here in the midwest. Also, I have observed that people in the Midwest seem to have drastically different personalities compared to those in the West. For the most part, people in the Midwest are easier to impress and all-around more intrigued by the simple things in life.
