I'll be heading to Oregon late next week and my biggest concern is that I won't be able to come back. I have a return ticket, of course, but I'm liable to take leave of my senses once I get back to that part of the world where my heart says I should be.
I'd guess I am like many of us who wish we could arrange our lives to be in the place we most want to be. Hardly a day goes by when I don't wonder why I ended up in Chicago. There are so many things I don't like about Chicago and most of them, like the traffic, are the things I noticed from day one.
Now that I have been here for almost a year, though, I can honestly say I have been blessed with many things that took a little longer to appear. My job, for instance, started out a bit rough, but is now something I enjoy very much, due in large part to the great people who work with me here at OpticsPlanet.com. I have also grown quite fond of some newfound friends outside of work as well. Thank-you Stacey and all my buddies at Prairie Woods Audubon. All of you have made me feel at home here in Chicago.
The only thing I am missing at this point is Mr. Right. If he shows up, I'll be stuck here for good - unless, of course, he owns a ranch in Montana.
