It’s “Fry’sday” once again, and for the uninitiated, that means the big multi-page ad for Fry’s Electronics comes out in the newspaper. The last couple of weeks has seen a flurry of activity in the Phoenix job market, and I had two firm offers, in addition to my current employer wanting me to extend my contract! Ultimately I’ve decided to sign on for a longer-term gig at US Foodservice , where I’ll be traveling around to various cities migrating Windows NT sites to an Windows 2000 ActiveDirectory domain. I think I’m going to have lots of fun. I always tell people, ‘You Buy, I’ll Fly’. What has me most concerned, however, is that I am now down to one case of Quilmes, one of my favorite beers when I’m not partaking of the Guinness. When I was in LA a few weeks ago, I stopped by Trader Joe’s in Oceanside and picked up a couple of cases. I haven’t yet been able to find it here in Phoenix, but I’ll keep looking. It’s easy to drink, and actually has a flavor in contrast to a certain popular Mexican beer that shall remain further unmentioned. But speaking of Guinness, something I’m fond of doing, Fox and Hound Pub & Grille in Gilbert pours a very nice pint. Michelle and Staci are the best! My friend Mike C. and I have been performing quality checks every Thursday for the last month, and we both agree. (I just noticed my email link was being sent to a non-existent address – it’s fixed now – sorry ’bout that, folks!)
03/17/2006 – Happy Saint Patrick’s Day! I claim some Irish heritage, but my paternal lineage is predominately Welsh; the equivalent feast day for us is Saint David’s Day which is March 1st, but no one makes a big deal over it here in the U.S. I’m still working on the redesign but I have been adding new content pages here and there, and I suspect I will be adding quite a lot more here very soon. Just today I’ve signed on to a new gig that will relocate me to the Phoenix area, something I’ve been contemplating, and have been urged by friends to do for some time. It’s always a little scary making a major move like this, and I loved living in Carlsbad for the last couple of years, but the cost of living is prohibitive. While I will miss my family in California, they won’t be so very far away that I won’t be able to hop on a plane and be back there in a few hours, most likely to work on their computers 😎
