Bix Dugan: Breaking News!

[Bix Dugan]

Well folks, next Wednesday morning I will depart SoCal, as I've decided to move in with my brother Jim and his wife in Rock Hill, South Carolina.

Oh My God!

I've been in the LA area since 1982. When I look at the (concrete lined) L.A. River, it seems completely natural, now.
The last time rain fell on me was...I don't even know.

I know that I, a hedonistic, athiest with a history of substance abuse may have some problems living with a straight-arrow, Christian couple, but I do know they love me.
And Jim is a mechanical engineer, and could possibly help out my job search with his many contacts.
I've been on unemployment since Christmas, but I've had this move in the back of my mind the whole time. I haven't seen him or my sister (Port Clinton, Ohio) since my parents passed away in 1992.
His two kids (Jenean and Bryan) have grow, went to college, married, and have recently each had their own babies. The last time I saw them they were only yay-high.
So that makes me a Great Uncle, I guess.

That also makes me the worst uncle on record, officially. (I hate crying in the public library)

But this sprinkle is nothing compared to the downpour that will happen over the Fourth of July, because his kids are coming to visit us all.
I am looking forward to that re-union!


I understand they only sell liquor in tiny airline-size bottles in that state.
But maybe the cigarettes will be less than $5.75/pack.
Silver linings, folks.


If this thread should be re-located, feel free.

By the way, I have offered up my PSP for an extended loan in the Games Section.

Bye for Now!
Bix

Bix doesn't jump trains, he cruises them. (;

[Bix Dugan]

Wow.
Only two replies, yet I'm belly-laughing in the library.

I'll be flying, First Class, of course.

I just need a distraction...
I know!

Hmmm...guess that only people who enter contests are on tonight. I kid you though guys. (:

[imdebbie]

I forget you're in a different timezone. I was wondering why the library would be open at 10.

I'm very happy for you, Bix. The So Cal job market sucks right now, and a guy who has worked as hard as you have deserves a fresh start.

I wish you the best of luck, and I hope this means we'll be seeing more of you around.

...and I'm gonna move this to CFM.

[Mod City]

Best wishes, Bix! Sounds like you have a new, interesting situation brewing. Glad it sounds like you're embracing it.

I wish you nothing but success in finding such a joy. Good luck, sir, good luck

[Skyroniter]

Good to hear from you, Bix. Best of luck in your move. Do remember that barbecue is vinegar based in these parts.

[Frameous]

Godspeed, Bix. May this be a positive turning point.

[callipygias]

Hey, Bix. Good luck in SC. You'll have regular computer access now, won't you?

And I hope your substance abuse days are behind you. Maybe you can transfer those energies into abusing Southerners. Somebody needs to.
