"Rocky Mountain high, Colorado..."

I apologize for the very lame subject quote to this post. It is late and I am tired. I have been remiss in not posting sooner, but to be quite honest, I am a bit self centered and I have enjoyed Frank's tribute to me being the last post because it effectively illustrates how awesome the times I have with these guys have been . Be that as it may, it is time to get this baby fired back up. As has been eluded to by the other Five Guys, I am have relocated from the T to the D for professional reasons. I will say it is both silly and humbling for someone with my very limited skill set to be so aggressively pursued by a company. They offered large salaries, they acquiesced to preposterous demands, they even sent limos. It ain't been all bad. There was celebration for the opportunity and sadness for leaving family and friends. There was packing, loading, and a cross country drive. Now that it is all said and done, Mrs. GF, Dog, and I are settled in our new city and I have begun my new job. There are a number of things about this city that I am still adjusting to. For one, the sun is 10,000 times more brilliant here than I have ever experienced. I find that I am constantly squinting. Now, the sun is several million miles away from the earth. You wouldn't think that being one mile closer to it would make a difference, but apparently it does. I may turn into one of those douchebags who wears my sunglasses on a strap around my neck. The second thing I have noticed is the startling lack of oxygen. I am a man who enjoys breathing. Whether it is while exercising, grocery shopping, walking up the stairs to bed, or enjoying a beer. My body demands air. This city is populated by robots who apparently can live without breathing. Another unfortunate side effect of the lack of oxygen is dehydration. I have had a headache and skin that looks like pork cracklin' for the past three weeks, and no amount of Gatorade or Jergens seem to help (though Mrs. GF has suggested DRINKING the Gatorade and RUBBING the Jergens). There are many other things that make adjusting to this new place difficult; snow (yeah, already), the lack of friends (I'm used to being popular), missing Tebow's last season in Gainesville, and any number of other things. The coming weeks will be interesting. More to follow.
