Thanks PacLove. Yeah real similar, age different and everything!

That's true you point that out about CA. I'll look into it. Trying to channel "time is your friend".

Over here on my business trip, last few days W has called me to Facetime so I can see the kids. The window is really short. I'm about 8 hours ahead, so the only time that works is right when they're getting up in the morning before heading to daycare, and she's always rushed. So it's just been "hi, good to see you guys..." and me keeping up the cheerful attitude.

Having tons of fun myself here with coworkers and everything, exploring the city, sightseeing. Missing the family of course but genuinely enjoying myself. Will just keep cruising along.
