I finally got a job!!!
After being laid off for almost 15 months, I found a job and am moving to the Washington DC area. I leave tomorrow to drive up and will start my new job on Monday.
I will be providing computer system support for the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority.

I may not be very active here until I get settled in and find a new place so the wife can join me soon.

Not quite Henry,
A customer of mine was all set to ship me a box so I could build her dream DB, and went to work that day and found her job was gone.So she has to wait until she can find work and get back in the race.
But Iggy's wait has been longer and I hope he's on top of the world. The next few weeks are going to be trying , but he's heading in the right direction!!!!!!!!!!
GOOD GOIN' IGGY!

Congrats, and welcome to NOVA (Northern Virginia)!
There are getting to be several CBG'ers in this vicinity - perhaps we ought to get together on a lazy weekend and exchange some CBG musical and design inspiration. Maybe even start up one of those group things on the nation website.
(Also, I can recommend a friend as a real-estate agent if you need someone local to help you size up neighborhoods.)
