    I hope to get around a bit before my heart leads me back West. I'd like to see Philadelphia/Pennsylvania, Conneticut and Massachusetts. I'd really like to get up into Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine--I miss the wilder areas in California terribly (Desolation Wilderness near Lake Tahoe in particular).
    I notice your not heading south .............................towards Texas

    Smart move

    You might as well pop across the border while your there. I cant believe Ive lived in NY my whole life. Well most of it. Been to Canada at least 4 times and yet I have never been to Niagara Falls. Have you been there yet?

    California, of course. If you like sun and beaches and lots of chicks in bikinis and Hollywood and theme parks and palm trees, go south. If you like quiet and Redwoods and beautiful mountains and wine country and lush valleys and lakes and rivers and orchards and rice fields, go north. Weather is generally great. Yosemite is fabulous; so is Lake Tahoe. The coast along Highway One north of San Francisco is wonderful.
    Thats why it blows Fla away. There are even times during the year when you can go to the beach and water ski in the morning then drive into the mountains and snow ski at night. And US 1 is one of the most scenic highways in the US. I drove it from Frisco to San Diego. Even the rest stops are things of wonder. There was one in particular near the Hearst Castle that impressed me.

    Funny that you should say that--the HQ of my company is in Austin, Texas, and for the right position, I would move there right now. I've twelve years in state service in 1) development, and 2) strategic policy and planning in IT. I only worked for a couple of years doing IT support. Now, I'm working in our North East region doing 90% IT support work--systems integration--not really my forte. I can do it, but I don't love it. Most development and policy/planning functions are at HQ, so naturally that has been my ultimate target. Assuming of course that something else altogether doesn't happen along.

    At least people won't snicker at my Lucchese boots there. But you sure as hell ain't gonna catch me wearin' one of them funky-ass hats!

    Be intent on loyalty
    While others aspire to perform meritorious services
    Concentrate on purity of intent
    While those around you are beset by egoism

    Or to Texas

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
