They really really are.

Hell... we get snow occasionally here and we're still wusses... people here freak out when it rains! And it's Seattle for heaven's sake!

People here freak out when it rains too - traffic grinds to a halt. You can't get anywhere except by subway.

I actually like snow too, but I am really ready for Soring. I need to see some trees blooming ang flowers.

Thanks Beaver!

I need to figure out exactly when I can come up though - it'll definitely be during a workweek, I'm sure.

I'm thinking April 12th-ish. Southwest flights are cheap. Now I just have to see if I can afford a hotel. I stayed in a hostel last time, but that was with a friend in a private - I'm squeamish about sharing a room with 6-7 other people.

How far is Berkeley from SF? Maybe I could visit my cousin...

Having met both of you, I will vouch for each - and add that you would probably have a lot of fun

I haven't met any of you!

Beav - after our REALLY unfortunate experience with AIDA in January, it might be awhile before I can get him back in a theatre for opera. HOWEVER, just coming up for some fun and frolic is NOT out of the question! And I believe YOU might head south to Palm Springs at some point, in which case we could easily drive over for dinner and drinks. We'll be over there the weekend after nthis one for Bernie in concert - VERY excited about that

IRELAND?!?!?! Wow - find Colin Farrell for me and . . . well, say hello

Posted: 3/1/05 at 2:46pm

Beav - Would she be from New Jersey?

Rath - all in due time, my pretty

Posted: 3/1/05 at 2:56pm

Beav - it's very bold of you to post that you're hiring people up your wazoo

Relocating has been on my mind as of late... I get this thing that I have to move around every so often... not sure where I'd want to go, though.

Posted: 3/1/05 at 3:33pm

ElT - maybe San Francisco is calling to you

Posted: 3/1/05 at 3:38pm

Great - now what I have in MY head is Nelson Eddy and Jeanette McDonald - "When I'm calling you-ooOOoo-oo-oo-oo!"

Posted: 3/1/05 at 3:41pm

Hmmmm - I'm not sure an event like that would be advisable - or even legal

[ElTico68]

Posted: 3/1/05 at 3:43pm

SF... maybe. Too expensive... then again, all the cities I want to live in are... DC, NYC... Amsterdam, London, Madrid...

Posted: 3/1/05 at 3:45pm

ElT - that's the reason we live 50 miles outside of LA - it's the only way we can aford to live like we want to here!

Posted: 3/1/05 at 3:48pm

Beav - are we back to the wazoo?

I "almost" moved to LA last year in March. Was offered a job near Ontario... wasn't in the right place (emotionally) to relocate then. I was actually born in LA - Manhattan Beach - and have family there, so it's always an option.

I could have so much fun in a room with all these men...

DGrant, enjoy the BP concert! I wish I could go,but it's just too much of a schlep. So you'll have to give up the details.

Rath, dearie, I second the "YET"

Posted: 3/1/05 at 5:10pm

ElT - we live right above Ontario - the school that Robert teaches at is actually IN Ontario.

[ElTico68]

Posted: 3/1/05 at 5:49pm

Wow... totally *might* have been neighbors. I know that if I seriously consider it again, I can call her (she's my former boss) and she'll find me another position.

Just be aware that the Inland Empire is the ULTIMATE generic American suburbia - and very conservative (they even vote more conservatively than Orange County!). We drive a LOT to do what we want to do socially, but at least we can have a house and yard and some privacy.
