I hereby accept the nomination for...
I went to a party last night that had people from all over the globe. There were people from everywhere except South America. I think it was their night off. Anyway, this was the best party I have been to in a really long time. Not only was there cool and educated people there, they were cool and educated and from everywhere I am not. I talked beer with an Aussie and a Dane, I talked politics with a Canadian and French man from West Africa. I talked dating with some local girls. Oh wait. Nevermind that last one.
I now feel, after much thought and consideration, that I am a citizen of the world. Coming here was the first step for sure, but meeting all the other people from around the world that work here made me feel like I just got nominated for world citizenship. The US is my state in a great big country. Colorado is my county in our beloved state. Denver is just my local neighborhood hangout spot. What a big world we have. Won't everyone come and explore it with me? SEGWAY I just had great Mr. Rogers vision with a man or woman from any country inviting kids to explore the world with them all Mr. Rogers style. I'd watch it! Cardigan and all!
Anyway, the party was fun. I got nice and lit for the first time, since we didn't go to Lebannon last weekend I decided it was time to tie one on! Chris went back to Englad for the week - his Grandpa died. Unamazingly he was more stoked to "see" his girlfriend than to go to a funeral; he forgot why he was giong home a few times last week.
I will be mailing my first letters out soon. Also, now that I am settled I want to start Christmas shopping. Let me know what you want so I can make a list, check it twice, box it up, and send it thrice (nothing ever happens the first time here.)
Hope all is well with my friends and family and I will post a picture or two soon.
love,
chris
