yes, and so K could graduate from HS without having to make a change

I would live in PA during the week and come home on the weekends until the end of Aug when J and K go to college

Hmmm how are you going to cope with the commute?

Depends on your employer, and whether you want to burn bridges or not. In the US, two weeks is considered courtesy for most non-management jobs, but some employers will want you to stay on longer to 'hand off' stuff if its of a highly technical nature. 

it will be tough, that's for sure

Knowing its only short term will help... I guess it will be just you and C after that???

At least he is young enough to cope well with the move

LOL - I moved a few days ago - I don't remember exactly when, it seemed fitting given what is going on in my life at the present time

I was wondering if anyone had noticed

Yep - and he's actually pretty excited about it - he actually said - 'it'll be an adventure'   He's surprisingly supportive of the idea

Well, although it'll be a bit of a no-man's (no-woman's?) land, the thought of what lies ahead should make it a little easier. I imagine the move seems quite daunting, but ... FWIW, me being an eedjet youngun and all (but have moved across the world and country multiple times by myself) I have never regretted a move, and found wonderful people and unknown delights everywhere I've gone.

I am very excited for you!

Wow that high value long term company knowledge will be a HUGE blow to them... on the flip side its probably time to move on?

x 2 - The first few months of a new place can be daunting and coping with the whole move but in time you get used to your new life! And it is VERY exciting!

With the commute you get time to learn your new home and workout where/how you want to move... a luxury Ive never had, so its actually going to make it easier

exactly!

I'm just not growing or learning anymore - and well, lots of reasons

ps

nice job on noticing my move to never never land!

... so the longest I've lived anywhere since graduating grad school was 7 years in MS.

I'm not even sure this move to California is anywhere near permanent... this is more just a 'time-out' for me right now. I am actually a bit disappointed how seedy and beat up a lot of Sacramento looks compared to suburbs in Texas and parts of the South which are actually a little neater and nicer (not to mention a helluva lot cheaper to live in).

Oh, I went ahead and bought this book off of Amazon and sent it to Davis:

I think being in PA during the week will be an excellent opportunity for you to focus on training after work. This is a great job op although Philly (the central city) just totally sucks as a place to live. The Philly Eagles are the only NFL team to have their own criminal court in the basement of the stadium because the fans are SO out of control during the games LOL
