Thank you Pink. I am laughing about culture shock. 2 years ago I moved from Portland Oregon to Portsmouth NH. Portsmouth being considered a "city" by the locals. At 22,000 I was in for a surprise on how small it was. I was working in even a smaller town. Oy that was surprising.
Now Bangor (where I live) and Ellsworth (where I will work) are bigger than I was before but still smaller than I am used to. I am actually going to the school board meeting tonight where they recommend my hiring. I've never done that before. 14 years later all sorts of firsts.
One of the things I love about this area of Maine is the friendly people who are sarcastic as all get out! It might be subtle but oohh it packs a punch. Love it!
