After arriving in Harrisburg from overseas, dear wife and I adjusted quickly. It was time for me to head for Washington to accomplish two things: one, settle into my new job, and two, familiarize myself with the real estate market.
Late on Monday morning I arrived in the Roslyn, Virginia area, where the office was located. I walked into the reception area wearing a beret that I had bought in Paris, and asked, in a French-accented voice, for Mr. M_____.The receptionist took one look at me, excused herself, and left the area. I could hear her her say to others, "There is a guy wearing a beret, and asking , in French for D____. Shortly he appeared, we had a good laugh, and he took me into the office proper, and introduced me to the staff. The people, about fifteen of them were very friendly, and we got off to a good start, a start that never diminished during the entire time I worked there.
I was then shown to my office. It was quite a bit smaller that the one in Harrisburg, but it had a beautiful view of the Washington Monument!! Wow! I was really happy with my introduction to the D.C. area.
I spent two days in the office and then headed to Harrisburg to assist dear wife in preparing our home for sale.
More, later.
