Back at it

Janine and I got back to California last weekend. Those flights are long! Ugh – oh well. It was great to see everyone, but it’s good to be back into “the swing of things” (the normal cadence of life). It is always strange to walk into your house after you’ve been away. Although the weather in California was much better than at home, the house seemed cold and empty. The first evening is always a bit strange. We watched a movie and went to bed.
Monday was back at work. The Americans don’t pay much attention to Epiphany (la Befana) so the work pace was back at breakneck speed. This was good. It jolts you into “real” life again and wakes you up. I’ve made a “new years resolution” to socialise a little more this year. Since moving to California Janine and I have been quite private – exploring the area etc. We’re going to check out the Museum of Making Music in Carlsbad. The website is quite interesting. They have an exhibit on playing slide-guitar which looks pretty cool.
Anybody else make new year’s resolutions?
