Welcome to the East Coast!
NYC is only a few (okay 4 ) hours away so be sure to head on up for Tartan Week & all the other festivities the east coast has to offer!!!

Cheers

ONLY! That's too funny. I'm in the middle of Texas right now... I drive 3 or 4 hrs to go ANYwhere!

Thanks for the welcome, all. I should be there as soon as house sale is rounded up... about a month. Change happens so slowly, then all of a sudden, I haven't enough time!

Around here we consider a drive of more than 30 minutes too far to travel!!
I forget that people in the world outside of NYC sometimes have to drive REAL distances!

I know what you mean about things happening slowly then all of a sudden. I waited around for almost a year for news of a big life change & then had less than 30 days to sell off/pack up EVERYTHING and change countries - heading off into tyhe great unknown wiith only a job & a place to stay for 1 month and one friend in the area... can you say stressful?!?!?

Good luck on the relationship. Remember to breath in deeply when confronted by the cagey and numerous "Baltimorons" The good news is that Virginia is near by.

Hey Scotty,

What kind of work are you looking for? You never know - someone on the board might have a lead.

D.C. area is one of the few places on the East coast that this ol' Western boy ever liked. Lots of folks from all over the world there. Course, one of the last times I was in D.C. there were tanks in the streets, sandbagged machine gun emplacements on the streetcorners, and tear gas in the air.
