In March 2005, I took a new job in the Chicagoland area. So far living in the US has been everything I knew it would be, lots of fun, sometimes frustrating, and always a challenge.

Apparently according to a fortune cookie I got at lunchtime when Steve and I went for chinese food; I am a person of culture. Discuss!
A one night flying stop in Cleveland, right by Progressive Field and it was hotter than hades! Real feel was almost 100f, which I guess compared to home in IL with a real feel today of 115f, it was positively temperate. We are en route to visit our friends in Cape Cod, via Cleveland and another friend in upstate NY (more about that here). We plan on dipping our toes in Lake Erie tomorrow, as last time we passed by, it had to be the warmest open water I have ever experienced! The boss asked some travel groups what they recommended for a quick stop and the Cleveland Museum Of Art came out in the top three, (wikipedia internet photo to the right by this individual ) along with a restaurant/diner called Tommy's, so that's what we did!

The first and most exciting news is our forthcoming new addition. Our first child is due September 25 th , for those of you who haven't read in a little while or seen the posting, click here . All is well, and we are trying to plan our year, including any trips, especially where flying is involved, before it is too late for Lorraine to fly. According to the due date we are at 15 weeks right now, and there is not much else to tell. She is not really showing yet, no kicking, etc. She was as sick as a dog on dodgy dog food for the whole first tri mester , and whilst she is much better now, she still has some issues in the evening.
