    Just going down my friend list and visiting everyone to say hi and make sure I get a chance to meet all these new people. I can do this now with under 30, but things won't be quite so cozy later, I'm sure.

    So anyway, hi. It's nice to meet you and let's keep in touch.

    They tried to tell me it was ribeye steaks! I've already brought in ice cream for part of the crew...I pretty much have to buy ice cream every time I go in. I don't mind, though, that means that I'm getting some experience and besides, I love ice cream!

    How's it going. Nothing much has changed back here.
    I moved back here and joined Westwood in 1996. We
    are going through a growing spurt now and have alot of
    new probies. They seem to be motivated and are eating
    up the training. We are doing two to three training nights
    a week right now before the spring and summer hits and we start losing everyone to ballgames and vacations.
    Have a good one and drop in and see us sometime.
