McMurdo 101
Whew! Now that I am here, it’s a lot like coming to college for the first time. I have a roommate, Bay, and she has already been here more than a month, so she’s got the room all set up. It’s okay though, I like what she’s done with it. It’s very homey. She gets big ups for recognizing the Robert Plant doll as Robert Plant, so I think we’ll get along well.
I’ve visited my office, which is also very nice, and the store, which is actually pretty good! It’s bigger than I thought and seems to be reasonably well stocked. You can also rent videos there.
Last night I had supper with my friend and now boss Lisa, and we had some wine and spaghetti, and then I met my friends Holly and Sharona and went out to one of the bars. The bar we went to is called the Coffeehouse, and it had live music, which was awesome.
It’s also great that we arrived on a Saturday, because that means I get Sunday off, so I’ve been goofing off all morning so far. We were supposed to do a walking tour of the town, but it was cancelled because it’s still really windy and cold.
I miss everyone, but I’m really happy to finally be here. It’s pretty cool!
Hi, there LCO
Everyone is enjoying your posts. Very descriptive and amazes us that you are there! I read the whole thing to my mom the other night and she just couldn’t believe what you are doing. All is well here. Had our first frost last night, didn’t kill anything though. This week should be really nice. LWO has conferences tues thru thurs then Friday off.
Can’t wait to hear about your work -

PS Sita is doing great. Pretty much has the dogs under control and spends a lot of time sitting with me or sleeping on our bed.
Hi Laura,
Wow…Patrick and I are so proud of what you are doing. You go, girl!
Now, all that has to happen, aside from you having a successful and healthy trip/adventure, is that they figure out what an asset you are to the company!
Take good care.
Love,
Patrick and Barb
