1. I've never met you.
2. I really don't know you.
3. I believe every word you say.
...know a good agent there?

I have no people. I've arranged things that way... apparently.

Yes. I love where I live. It feels like home, and I like the sense of belonging somewhere. I moved often, and learned to feel at home not so much as where my family and friends are but where my heart and mind feels at ease.
I love the Dutch change of seasons, although every Dutchie is nagging about the weather daily; too cold, too warm, too much rain, too much snow, too little of everything.
I love the far sights: green fields with black and white cows, mills, water and the ever changing skies over it. The old towns.
But I love seeing more than that. I travel as much as possible to see rough mountains, desserts, rocks, waterfalls, ice and snow, and as little people as possible.

I found an agent on this super-reliable thing called the internet. I'm about to write and schedule a meeting soon. All I'll have to do is get up at four in the morning, drive for ten hours, meet him and see the place. Sleep on it, buy it or not, drive ten hours back, look in the mirror at my current hole and say, "what the hell did I just do?"
Moody, see what you've done?

I can't believe I'm actually considering moving, let alone moving out of state, much less moving back to California. And I further can't believe that I'll have to make that visit just to be able to make such a decision. It's funny, when you start thinking something gotta change, then you gotta figure out what.
Yes! Exactly. And sometimes that may lead to the most unexpected places--like moving, moving out of state, moving back to California. It's all part of that big "everything happens for a reason" thing that I believe in so strongly. Everything that's ever happened to me, both good and bad, has led to where I am--and WHO I am--now. And I'm sure it's the same for you. So this is just another step in your journey--if it's meant to be.
Oooooohhhhh!! We can gang up on him and drive him nuts with Linux talk! :laugh: :rofl: :laugh:Don't feel too bad. Besides, if you move to the Rubidoux/Riverside area of California, I'll be able to make house calls when your distro-madness finally takes down your computer!
There's a plus side to everything!

In order to shake the past I'm surrounded with, a change must occur. Now I have to research the possibilities... exciting and horrifying at the same time.

For me, the distos are, perhaps always were, a mere diversion. In fact, in the last year, even my computer was a diversion to the mania aside. I tried, sort of, but never came close to preferring any distro to Windows (7). I keep a partition for Mint Cinnamon at the ready but just boot it occasionally to update.
But if I do move thereabouts, things will eventually settle again and I'll rekindle my earlier diversions!
All joking aside, I see so many positives to a move, and I don't just mean if it's a move back to CA. In my opinion, and, of course, I realize that I only know what I know from this forum, you'd do well to get the hell out of where you are now. Memories, lost things and people and bits of you... A fresh start could be exactly what you need.

Yep. It's hard to make a decision that doesn't need to be made, just gotta let it make it for you. But I do think I gotta go there and see it, so I'll know what I'm deciding... ugh, a ten-hour drive, times two.

That's one of the trepidations I have about returning to California. I had to escape it in 1988 because I was repeatedly staying up forty hours straight, driving my other car up my nose, as they say. There's no way that'll happen again, but I still think of that state as my nemesis.
I can't speak to that without sounding like a sanctimonious ass, so I won't try. All I will say is that rather than looking at CA as that state that's your nemesis, perhaps look at your previous issue as a state of mind--one you're no longer willing to be in. It shouldn't matter where you are, geographically.

Twenty-five years has sealed those days safely in the past, but I still have to get over the mental fence I've erected... only one way to do it!
Yep. And I--and your other CA AF family members--will be waiting with open arms.
PS The Dodgers clinched the NL West last night. This would be a good time to start wearing Dodger Blue!
