Dear Paul,
Hi there! How are you?! Just thought I'd drop you a note. Hope all is going well out there in the frozen tundra of Chicagoland! I must admit, I don't know if I could handle that weather anymore... Well, I suppose I could if I had to, but I don't think I'd care to! My blood has thinned to the consistency of water since living here, & it would take some time to thicken up again!
Just recently, I started a new position within the bank - a mortgage processing position. Funny, when I left processing 4 yrs., ago, I never thought I'd be excited at the prospect of doing it again! Everything is relative. I was going nowhere in the branch, & with all the changes going on... So, here I am! I haven't started processing yet, but I'm anxious to get going.
I met someone in Dec. - he's a friend of some friends. We went out once & had a really nice time. I do like him — Unfortunately, he lives in Rhode Island. He plans to move down here by the time he's 40. (He'll be 39 this July.) He went home 1/5 &

within 5 days he called Mel & Bob (our mutual friends) begging to come back! He wasn't due for another visit until May. We have a date for 2/27; then he'll be back again in May. Anyway, I enjoy his company & it gives me something to look forward to!
Paul, are you holding out for UA? I realize it's much easier said than done, but maybe it's time to look in another direction. You've been burned by the airline industry 3Xs.... The hardest part of anything is just getting started — I know; I've been there. In my opinion, job hunting is the hardest work there is! Not working is OK for a short time, but after a while it's depressing — the longer I go without working, or at least looking, the worse I feel - & the deeper the pit to climb out. At least , that's how I feel. For me, it's better to be doing something. I know flying has always been your dream, but you've come a lot closer to your dream than many men/women ever do. Anyway, I hope things go well for you.
Things here in FL are okay — pretty much same-o. Weather's been gorgeous.

My kinda weather... in the 70s & dry & sunny. The temp's about to go up a little, but hopefully it won't get humid.
Take care Paul. Keep warm & give my love to the kids! Have a happy b-day & remember, I'm thinkin of you.
Love you Bunches.
P. xxxooo
