Chicago....I like It...I Think....

The move is complete...we are subletting a house in the Edgewater area and are doing well. We made it through our first winter, albeit a "mild" one. I achieved my goal of finding and starting a job by February 1st and although its not downtown and the commute isn't always fun, I do enjoy it and the people I work with. I am asked quite often if I like it here and the answer in short is that my gradual thaw towards Chicago is a work in progress. I miss California, I miss its cleanliness and the salty smell of the ocean. I miss the fog rolling in over the city in the afternoons and the silhouette of the Bay Bridge as the sun set. But I'll get over it. I think.

More soon...
