Boy, was I wrong about the visit by the company VPs. They were a very nice bunch of fellas and they complemented greatly on the appearance of my store. I've been quietly celebrating for the past few days.

Once again this company surprises me with it's family like atmosphere. One thing I always expected as a cop was having the feeling like you are part of a large family where everyone watches out for you. Bot, was that not the case about the two departments I worked for. But, it is the case for Games Workshop. I'm just astounded everyday by how awesome my job really is. I truly am blessed.

Lately, it's been a bit cool and not so humid. Kinda reminds me of home. On Friday I smelled the sweet north wind for the first time here. Frankly, it makes me a little homesick. I fear it wil take a little while to get me to the point where this is home. I think once I'm really established here with a house of our own and such, I'll never want to go back.

My Armenian friend says he's gonna try to make it out here from California sometime in October. That'll be perfect because I can take some vacation time then. I'd like to take him down to New Orleans. Of course, my wife might have something to say about that(she loves N'awlins).
