Hey Jack. Yea, she wants to move back to be closer to family and friends, so I'm up here poking around for a job as that would aid in our transition when school lets out in May back in Florida. I'll probably be here another week or two, unless I'm gainfully employed here in HR. Then I'll just stay(w/ the in-laws...ouch) until we find a place.

Maybe we ca hook up sometime soon. Have a great holiday.

Extended 'vacation' visit as I look for employment to begin a move. I'll be here thru Jan 3/4 unless employed, then obviously longer. Oh yea, I saw the Z's. Nice.

Anything that removes me from the in-laws for hours on end, I'm up for.

Radio, trucking, etc...anything that will pay the bills and allow us to move back. Oh...and I'm back in Florida. I flew back Saturday night. My car is still in Virginia at the in-laws, but I had to get back to work down here. Hoping to get back up there in a week or so.

Hey all I hope you all had a merry Christmas.

I made it back in town, well over 3,000 miles in a few days on my truck, up for 40 hour straight without sleep. Drove into 18 inches of snow in Maine, packed the truck for my parents move to Michigan in 5 degree weather and drove in more snow when I left Maine. Hit a bad storm in Buffalo, freezing rain in Michigan and three hours of heavy fog when leaving Michigan. This could have been bad in many ways but I got lucky and didn’t have any problems. I had to go for a short ride in the Vette when I got back, man that felt good.

I'm back in J-Vegas (aka Jacksonville) NC. Matt will be 7 in about 4 months. Diane is still with me too, for at least another week.

All else is good with me. I'm glad your health is doing better. Have a safe drive back from Mass. Happy New Year.
