Hey Friends!

I thought of many ideas and topics on what this podcast should be about, and then after spending an afternoon with some friends and relating stories about my move here, Patti and I agreed I should use that as the topic.

In the end, my take on moving to and living in California stood out. It's been a wild ride the past 17 years, and you may get a kick out of hearing how it's changed my life.

I've lived a full life in many places, but never for this long, and never have I had to adapt to so many changes. Those changes lead to some fun stories that hope to entertain everyone. Stories I talk about on the podcasts will, in many cases, relate to the ones I publish in the newsletter since they have impacted my life here.

Enjoy the podcast, say hi, and tell us what you think.

Mark & Patti
