Local food

I played chauffer for a while for Janey. I actually had her drive so she could start to find stuff in town. We went to the GRI (Where I will be working soon) for her Journal Club class. Then we went to Gold Star Chili and had chili cheese fri's and 3 Coney's between the 2 of us. Chili in Cincy is odd. More like a meaty spagetti sauce. That impression is not helped by the fact that they serve chili here in "ways". 2-way chili is Chili over spagetti, 3-way adds grated cheese to the top, 4-way adds chopped onions to the top of that, and 5-way chili adds beans to that. I think that my favorite is 3-way. I'm not so much into chopped raw white onions.

Observations for the day. While the freeways are less crowded, I feel that they are much much more dangerous. Part of the problem is that big-rigs have no lane restrictions. They can be found in any lane. They seem to be in the middle lane by default. Then never go right unless they are exiting the freeway, and usually go left with little or no signal at all, and will stay there long after they pass people. I never thought I would say this, but I miss California drivers.

Job?!?!?!

So, thursday, I got a call from my (future) boss. "While I can't offer you the job officially until the paperwork gets back and filled out, but would you like to come in and tell me how you would like your office and lab space set up?" Well, duh!

thoughts

I feel lost and alone at times, but she is always there for me. I feel stupid at times, but she helps me throuh them. I feel immature at times, then she needs my help. I am 5 years old, and I am 50 years old. I am incompetent and I am omnipotent. I love my wife very much. Some days I take her for granted. I need to stop doing that.

Arguments.

Sometimes, I end up saying things that I think are funny, but are hurtful. I hate that. I wish I had a way to sense when a comment that might be innocent to some, would be hurtful to others. There are days when I don't want to talk at all for fear of upsetting the one that I love.

First post ever to a blog

This is my first post. Still getting everything about me set up. I just got a call from my future boss. I should be starting work sometime this week. Soon after, Janey and I are going to buy a house (I'm going to have to be that responsible??) and then a car. We only have rwd vehicles right now, and it snows where we live now! So, hopefully an AWD vehicle is in our near future. Still working on getting pics into this page. For now, I'll try to get some pics of Janey and I. As part of this, I will be posting back blogs too. Some notable weekends and events.

Pictures of Janey and my apartment.

This is not my first time living in another state than my family. But this time, I have an advantage. This time, I have my wonderful and loving wife with me. here is our apartment. The 2 paintings that you will see are by my brother-in-law Richard. He is a wonderful artist, and it was all Janey and I could do to get these paintings out of the house. We would love to take and display almost all of his works. We are very honored to have these pieces.
