My last post ended with the declaration that I would get out and about and start doing things.

I’m proud to report back six weeks later that I have done just that in the name of friends, fun and productivity (imagine that!). I have not only moved a mere 2 blocks away from work (thereby reducing my commute from 1.5hr to 5 min), but spent a couple of great weekends with friends from the far coast and the rest of the time plugging away at my own personal work.

I’ve also managed to spend a good amount of time outside of the confines of the city and enjoyed experiencing The California Suburb—much like any other suburb, but with better weather with the addition of some “extra thing” that keeps it from feeling like the mundane and quotidian neighborhoods that I grew up in on the East Coast.

This upcoming weekend will be spent in the great outdoors, under the blue blue sky of Lassen Volcanic National Park and I hope to keep up the fun with a flurry of events of the next couple months.

It is with some regret that I must confess that I have no great (or even not so great) thoughts on life at this point.

If there were anything I could say along those lines, it would be that it is very rare that we come across people that we create strong bonds with and life has shown me thus far that the saying Few and Far Between is a true statement in regards to finding friends and companions.

It’s always nice to make friends.
