Strange New Land

Before I go to bed this night, I just want to make a note of a nice difference between living down here, and living in Newport. People here that I've met at work, both at Starbucks and teachers I've worked with recognize and show interest in the fact that I devote so much of my time to the Maritime Museum. They actually know what it is, and a few recognized my ship! I even met a 7th grader who said she'd been on one of the overnight programs on the Star of India!

In Newport, people would just nod and smile, and move on. But here, even in North County, what I do is well known! Awesome!

Cheers!

I love it when people know what you're talking about.
