Coming soon...
Something new, not so depressing, and hopefully full of laughter. But first, an attempt to get a little shut eye. Day off Friday, and I will post then I am sure. Maybe. But then again, I might be sleeping. Damn jetlag....

A sampling...
Here is a list of things that I have learned over the course of my first week in Cali....
1) Northern CA can get cold at night, and sometimes during the day-a heavier jacket would have been a good idea because 50 in Texas feels a lot warmer than 50 here.
2) Time changes kick your butt for the first week, no matter how seasoned of a traveler you are
3)
4) Local news varies from place to place, but each news cast ends with a human interest story with something about a twinkie, a dog with one eye, and a boy that can only hear when he listens to his iPod.
5) The comforts of home do not follow you, they only haunt you
6) Hotel pillows and beds only look comfortable. In reality they are as squishy as biscuit dough.
7) Speaking of biscuits, food in another state may look the same, be in the same restaurant chain, but is vastly different
8) Sushi is waaaay more popular that I thought, but only reminds me of the awesome chinese food I cannot get here because the hole in the wall corner joint is no where to be found.
9) Mountians with clouds over them, with snow on them, or in the distance look so perfect, you think they are fake
10) Drinking whiskey while in the hottub will not only make you feel more drunk, its a bad idea.
11) I am not 22 anymore, and cannot drink shots like a young guy. Bleech

This will all make perfect sense, someday
Day 5 of training has been recorded in the books. I now have a weekend in front of me. A weekend of sightseeing and picture taking, the complete tourist package. Damn only 5 days. I look back at day 1-3 and they are a haze. Sometimes life moves so quickly, the only choice you have is to ride the current, hoping to keep your head above water.
I feel like the family I was complaining about not seeing enough is with me though. They are my water wings in the river of life. Damn that is poetic, or pathetic, depending on who you ask.
