Dang, that's a full plate . . . I wish you guys the best. I'm about to move to another neighborhood and that has me kind of nervous. Still, sometimes starting a new life somewhere totally new can bring all kinds of good things. I'm going to school for conflict resolution (which is a misnomer, because it's really more about using conflict as an opportunity for productive outcomes than making sure everyone can hug or whatever). I turned down the spot I was offered at a really great school with a great reputation in favor of a school that everyone in the know in the conflict world seems to swear by. Still, I can't help but wonder what kind of opportunities I'm passing up . . . Why Kentucky? I've just never met anyone who planned to move there, is all.
I'm glad you're following through re. conflict resolution. I remember when you were going through the Foreign Service rigamorole. Seemed like a pretty obvious fit. If the place you're going is recommended by those in the know, that's gotta count. I bet it's fascinating, yeah? Kind of answered the KY thing in response to BFX. Really we were choosing Louisville rather than Kentucky. It's its own little thing. Lots of good restaurants, easy to get from here to there, place is lousy with great parks. Drive thirty minutes and you're in some beautiful boonies. City shuts down for the Kentucky derby, and best as I can tell the day before and after, and everybody just gets shitty drunk. It's pretty fun so far. But yeah, Nobody in their right mind would plan to move to Kentucky.
Nice man, very cool. Hey, the fact that you'd like to go into nursing reminded me that one of the teachers that I most respect, is not only a conflict specialist, but also an RN and a lawyer. If you feel like she'd be someone who you'd like to talk to, let me know.
