Big news! Our offer on a house right where we wanted (the western foothills of Oakland, near Berkeley) was accepted. We're on a very short 7-day close, but we'll be settled again after 4 very unsettled months at the end of two very trying years. So - I'll be back soon! (I treated myself to posting my entries on the day after we learned our offer was accepted.) I'm going very quiet for the next week, but then I'll be back in force! :-) Thanks for all the support gang. Here's the house BTW: www.5463broadway.com/

Now that is a very nice house. Congratulation on finding your new home, - moving house is awful having done it twice now I've vowed to never do it again.

Great oldschooldm, and I wish you continued luck! More often than not LinkedIn is a good place to augment your job search. I use it and get calls from head hunters every couple of months even though I'm not looking! I think it's better for some fields than others, but I'm in nonprofits and get surprised at the contacts I make. I'm here: www.linkedin.com/in/ronaldredmond/Feel free to Link. But when you tool around you can see how it can be helpful or not. Again good luck in the job search, and congrats on the finish of the housing situation. Be well, --Ron--

I, too, was a military brat. When I grew up, I promised myself never again. Moving is just too traumatic. However, congrats Oldschool on the new place, but it looks like earthquake insurance might be a good idea!

Great oldschooldm, and I wish you continued luck! More often than not LinkedIn is a good place to augment your job search... You're right! Actually, I get much of my consulting work through linked in, and have a blog there (not sure how effective the blog is.) linkedin.com/in/frandallfarmer and www.linkedin.com/today/author/8919... congrats Oldschool on the new place, but it looks like earthquake insurance might be a good idea! Yup. We're currently renting a few block from our new home, and were awoken by the Napa quake at 3:40am. First thing we did in the morning was go over and visually check out the new place. Only think we saw as that previously malfunctional unlocked garage side-door popped open... Again, thank you all so much for your support. Randy the Old School DM
