Woohoo!!
I have 2 third interviews and 2 second interviews next week in Milwaukee. This time I'm also going to put a deposit on a place to rent.

This odyssey is almost over, with another waiting to begin.

38. I got a Garmin C550
Wife hates that thing - says it's not enough information on the map - a lot of new developments in our area, and streets aren't updated to reflect that.

Hell, a lot were not updated to reflect the new stuff - but I'm told Garmin is releasing a new update for 2008 this summer.

26. This is really going to happen...
I'm still in shock. Life started to spiral when I suspected my ex was having an affair almost 10 years ago. It turned out to be true and since then, I've just tried to survive and provide for myself and Lelapin. I got her through high school and now she's finishing her junior year in college. Life has been so difficult that there were times I didn't think I'd make it. But I have. Now something good is happening and it will take a while for it to sink in, so forgive me if you see this post occasionally.

:wow:

33. What part of Wisconsin are you looking in?
My cousin and her family live outside of Madison in an area called Gays Mills. They have a 220 acre farm and we all went back there last summer for a huge family reunion. It was a lot of fun. I was impressed with how beautiful the Wisconsin land is. :thumbsup:

:hi: Getting a bike is a good thing. :D

I wish you all the best in the round #2 interviews.
