I accepted a job offer in Seattle a few months ago and when I moved in the middle of July, I thought that it might be time for me to retire this blog.
I had said my good-byes to friends and family in Los Angeles, and was reacquainting myself to old friends in Seattle. Quickly settling into my new former city, I was looking for houses to buy, and had even put an offer on a house.
Then two weeks ago we were informed that the company that I had been working for less than 2 months was merging with a very large Fortune 500 company. The mood at work went from relaxed and collegial to one of impending doom.
After (not) sleeping on it, I withdrew my offer on the house within 24 hours of learning of the merger. This started me on a mini-adventure in the search for housing in Seattle. I looked high and low, near and far. I looked at apartments, houseboats, and floating home.
And I've decided that it isn't quite time for me to retire this blog just yet. I've decided to start up another blog about my life in Seattle, but keep this blog because, well, I might be back in Los Angeles in a few months...
Just to remind me that my L.A. life isn't too far behind me, I saw Sir Mix-a-Lot and his entourage down by the pier in Seattle a few weeks ago. The sightings don't end just 'cuz I'm not in L.A. anymore!
