What a whirlwind adventure. I saw the sky, the farm fields, lake Michigan, the Grand Canyon, and Rocky Mountains all from above the clouds. This was truly amazing for me. LA was a huge disappointment to fly into. As we were departing from the Rockies I noticed a thick yellow fog, a maze of concrete and small amount of movement, no trees, no water, no white clouds, it was LA. This was the dirtiest airport and if it weren't for the people a complete waste except perhaps to remind us the the constant waste we as humans create.
I visited and studied at Amgen the company I work for, on disease states and biologic medications, I studied late into the night, ate great pizza and met wonderful people from the other sales reps I studies with to the bartender (a native of Hawaii) and the cab driver (perhaps Cuban) who were so friendly and gracious. I did not feel foreign or out of place, it amazes how similar all people are despite there backgrounds and regions.
I went to Malibu and ate seafood on the coast.
I went to Malibu and was doused by the ocean with the help of the Hospital Neurology Marketing Director.
Shortly there after I slept a couple of hours and proceeded east.
My family met me in Milwaukee after the exhilarating triumph of flying over Lake Michigan (there comes a point when the blue of the lake and the blue of the sky become inseparable and you feel like you are simply in a vast and beautiful void).
I hopped a trip in my families mini-van (family included) to Iowa for a fun filled in-law family reunion, complete with my presently healing brother and travel exhaustion.
I came home to a dismantled and packed up house, with new windows and doors, no sooner did we arrive when the first of many "situations" occurred. The girls were so excited about the new windows that they leaned against one and popped out the screen material from the screen border, another job...
I am back at work, enjoying the peace of my desk and excited to spend home time with my children.
Love and Memories is all we can aspire to.
