Hello again. I must explain, I will be mostly inactive for a few weeks, maybe longer, and I'll explain why. Some of you already know.

When I returned from my vacation, back to work on Tuesday, my boss came to me with an offer I may not be able to refuse. Move to the city of Eugene Oregon (Home of the Oregon Ducks, where the movie Animal House was filmed). It's a nice city with a growing economy. My pay would/could/should increase to nearly 6 figures :shock: But, Eugene is 2 hours from here, and my entire family, and my wife's immediate family lives within 20 minutes of our current residence. I must make a decision as to whether or not to apply by 9/7. Even if I do apply, it doesn't mean I have the job, or will even take the job. The $ has to be worth me uprooting my family and relocating. This is a huge opportunity for myself and the future of my family. My company also is requiring a 5 year commitment to that store. So, I may be taking a trip this weekend to Eugene with my wife to check things out, look at houses, etc. If I make it back on time Sunday, I volunteered to help clean up the Clackamas River with my best friend for the day.

Next week I will be at the coast for 4 or 5 days with my parents.

After that, who knows, I may be moving to Eugene.

Thanks for understanding, and I'll miss you guys. I'll post as often as I can, but I can't promise to everyday.

Take Care,

scnut
