Finally Erik Has Returned
Well hello all I guess I need to post an update as well or face the wrath of Chris.
I am still working at RMS occasionally selling reprints. We recently had a reorg where they let go 3-4 sales people and some support staff. Then a few more people quit. This was all about a month before our busiest time of year, so suffice to say I have been just buried in work. I have also had some differing opinions than management on some of our core practices, which has made things a bit tense at times.
On a positive note I recently got to visit Chi-town on business. On Monday attended the National Restaurant Association show which is absolutely massive (if you have been to the auto show in Philly someone told me it's about 1.5 times larger). Strulson would have loved it because there are samples of everything including full size hot dogs from all the major vendors. I had a pork and beef "twist" dog...which you should be seeing realitivly soon.
My dad is doing pretty well with the cancer and treatments. He's shaved his head and it actually looks pretty good. I am convinced that 75% of it is mental. The weather's been good and the prognosius has been realitively positive so he is trucking along. I have a feeling though if on his next check up this week they say it has spread his health could change just like that.
Kate and I have remained busy visiting with friends and family on weekends and even during the week. Factor in a lot of overtime hours and we actually haven't spent much time in the new house...which is fine because we're going to be here for awhile. Along those lines Kate and I wanted to extend an invitation to everyone to come up and hang out for a few days. We don't have an ocean or anything but we do have a decent deck with grill, a few couches, and a theater room, plus all of the attractions of the greater Lancaster region. If anyone is interested just leave a post and I will pick an arbitrary date and we'll see if we can get something that will work out for everyone. Also anyone is welcome to stop by on their own if they are in the area...just let us know when you'll be around.
Kate's posting now, so I imagine she will fill in any blanks I missed.

It is good to hear that you and your pops are in good spirits.
It is also good to hear that you are keeping busy and having an over all good time (i am factoring in work tensity and house viscosity)
sounds like you got it all together.... any tips for guy like me who's starting new?
lets skype again soon... that was a good time
