Ah well. When you come to visit me here someday, I can show you around to the pretty parks. And mountains. :) You will come visit, won't you? Beautiful weather when it's unexpected is something to treasure. And please, do share your differences either here, or by e-mail. I'd be interested to know what you think, since you married a Californian. :) No, you didn’t take me to Naperville. Ah well.

We decided to take a picnic lunch down to the Riverwalk in Naperville (Did we take you there? If not, I apologize). It was really glorious in early March to be able to lay back by the river and let the sun hit your face. As for the difference between the Midwest and California, I feel very out of sorts at times out there. Mostly because of things people do, but that conversation is for another time.

I don't know if it's sometimes I talk too much, or what. So every once in a while, I feel like maybe I should be quieter and not sound so, ooh, but we didn't have that at home. :) But I appreciate your encouragement. I'll surely continue to write here, and knowing me, won't be able to keep my mouth shut at work, either. Not for long, anyway. Haven't seen a bottlebrush tree yet. I'll have to look one up to see what they look like. Another thing that I think is funny is random cactuses, just a huge bunch of them, sometimes just sitting in front yards. Thanks, Papillon.

We are you friends -- old and new -- and we wouldn't come here if we didn't care what you think. I, as one of your new colleagues, and a former midwesterner myself, appreciate being reminded of why I have stayed here longer than anywhere else I have lived. Have you seen a bottlebrush tree/bush yet? It's quite exotic. Even if you become more hesitant to make your observations at work, please don’t stop making them here.

People always think you are goofy when you point out the marvelous. oh well.
