Going to California with an Aching in my Heart

Hello loyal readers. Sorry I haven't been in touch for so long. If you have yet to hear, I am currently relocating to the West Coast. That is why I haven't posted anything in so long. I never realized how much crap I had until I started packing! But fear not, I will be resuming my normal B.S. in a week or so, just in time to pan the USA hockey team and continue my nail-biting coverage of the current NHL season. So, please, bear with me while I go thru this mind-boggling change.

Actually, I will be employed again! Retirement sucks! I've been so bored, I'm actually going to go work with my father in Cali. We will be rehabbing old and fixer-upper houses in the Petaluma area (about 45 minutes north of the Bay area). I'm excited, although my dogs are a bit confused and my cat has disappeared. (She must know what's going to happen.)

So, to all of you here in the DC area, I encourage you to e-mail me or call me (my numbers will remain the same) and come visit if you get the chance. Plus, I'll probably get to write about the Sharks a little bit (the NHL San Jose Sharks, for all you novices) and expand my hockey credentials from coast to coast. Not to mention, I'll get a front row seat to BASH Barry Bonds! Life is good!

Ryan and I will be driving cross-country starting Friday. I will try to blog my way across the Southern US, so keep a look out. If not, I'll be back to my usual shit around St. Patty's Day. Take care and I'll see you all soon. Open invitation to all of you who are loyal readers. The rest of you, enjoy Maryland. Haha!

Some tips for California Livin'-
First of all, in Cali, people spend most of their time rolling down the street, smokin indo, sippin on Gin and Juice. Its laid back. You'll want to keep you mind on your money, and more importanly, your money on your mind.
Second, if there is a freeway, like I495 here in MD, in Cali you would call it "the 495".
Third, when you move back to MD, and you will, make sure you make up a bunch of BS from your times out there, like..."yeah, I know Paris. We worked out the same gym." or "I hooked up with the third runner up from the 2nd season of American Idol one night. Yeah, the hot one."
That way people like Drew will still think you are cool.

Update us on your road trip along the way with photos of the giant ball of yarn and the worlds biggest thermometer.
Have a great trip.
