Kyle, I lost a comment of yours, about when we decided to move...? Can you direct me to it?

If you haven't seen this website, now is the time, even though you didn't get laid off.

Oh, yow, wow. Two weeks, or are you out the door this evening?

Will you be on the dole? Getting pogey?

Repeated here:

So when exactly did you make the decision to move to Canada? (I looked through the archives, and found your reasons why Canada, and why now, but not when you made up your mind)

When you started saving up money a couple of years ago, had you already decided where you were going to go?

Congratulations on freeing yourself from yet another impediment to your move. :)

barefoot hiker said...

Oh, "August 28", yeah... never mind. :)

Would you like me to go stick my head in a bucket of water? I've got one handy...

Guess this is one of those few times one can actually say "congratulations on becoming unemployed."

;-)

So, Congrats to you, L-G!!!!

Yes, congratulations is an odd thing to say to the unemployed. But, congratulations.

Thanks, everybody!

I'm technically not unemployed until the end of August, and even then we'll have writing income (though that isn't enough to live on long-term). But it felt so good to take this step!

Kyle, that's a good question. I'll blog on it tomorrow morning.

I love this line. It is just too, too funny.

This is really neat...

Google Earth

Try going to NYC and turning on buildings (if you have a fast enough computer), then try tilting the image......

ALPF, how great! Get this, I am actually registered at that 43things site. I signed up so I could lend encouragement to another American interested in making the move. I will visit them both, and blog on it further...
