A blog about Jim, Uma, Arianna, and Ethan
After almost 10 years at Ameren as a developer, I will be taking an Account Manager position with the internet start up Engine Yard out of San Francisco.
I’ll still be in St. Louis though - too many friends and family here for me to leave just yet….
We spent this past week in LA. It was mine and the baby’s first trip there. (First airplane ride for the babies too). We had a great time with Uma’s cousins and their families. They were all gracious hosts.
We managed to eat breakfast the whole week at a place called Uncle Bills Pancake House - which is interesting because we used to go to a like-named place in St. Louis. The LA version was much, much better: Fresh squeezed Orange Juice, awesome pancakes and hash browns, great coffee, and superior service.
The biggest difference between LA and St. Louis is the people. There are many more people and many more types of people in LA than in the Midwest. Plus, the pace is just much faster. LA is like New York in that sense.
Anyhow, we all can’t wait to go again. Though the next family trip is going to be somewhere East Coast. Maybe NC? Florida? New York? Boston? Who knows.
