As a few of you know (and now all), I've recently accepted a job offer at a new place. I knew the current position was a temp one when I started it ~ 2.5 years ago. What I didn't know was whether or not I'd stay in the same area when it was over. I'm originally from So Cal, and I must say that in my short stay here, that I've grown to love it. Area is great, people are great, and BAR...BAR is awesome.
In a few months, I'll be moving out to Santa Fe to start up a real career at a pretty cool place. Lots of new and exciting stuff there, but one thing I will sorely be missing is BAR. I'm not totally going. I'll still be here causing trouble as usual on the forums, but I will be deprived of all the amazing meetings/personal interactions that I've grown accustomed to with the BAR membership.
Santa Fe doesn't have a reef club. New Mexico does in a city about an hour south of SF, but it isn't really organized and doesn't seem to be that active. I guess the location has some impact on that . I guess this also means that I have some work ahead of me to see if I can stir up the local reefers and instill in them, the BAR Virus!
So that's that. A little bit bittersweet, but sometimes that's how it works out.
..oh, and I still have DBTC stuff to deal with, so keep an eye out I might be able to do some before BAYMAC, but likely the meeting after.
