random thoughts

So, I started looking at jobs today. Found precious little other than the same jobs that have been on the boards for five years. WHAT do these colleges do to their professors that the positions are never filled? I have been however joking with mom that if Flagler College in St. Augustine (the only FL city i actually liked) had a job I'd apply. They do. In precisely my field...for less money than I'm making now in a city that's far more expensive...

There was a perfect-for-me medical type position at Boston University. Let's not even get into the possibilities of living somewhere in Boston comfortably on a professor's salary (which here i don't even know what it would be. Colleges do vary their pay based on years of experience and amount of education the prof holds but still putting a RANGE in the ad would be nice).

Most all the jobs were in California (yeah because that's affordable), Missouri (uh, no, just no) and Georgia (better than MO but still don't see me getting excited)

I wiped out on my new tai-chi dvd but today i put in the Yoga: Just My Size (or something like that) with a plus sized instructor doing the moves. You know, I actually made it through half of it. This is something I think once i get going I could actually DO. The best part: the deep relaxation at the end. Apparently I'm a pirate when it comes to lying on the floor and breathing and oh let's not forget visualizing. Though at the end I could feel my chi tickling and warming the bottom of my feet. I think it was trying to escape.

And as I was perusing unusual city names for one (going back to my home state of PA because it's loaded with them) I ran across Bloody Corners, Ohio. It's apparently between Austintown and Akron...man I just want to move there, don't you?

When I went on my one and only Florida vacation fifteen years ago, I was staying at a condo at Ormond Beach, and decided to spend an afternoon in St. Augustine. I fell totally in love with that place and spent about half of my week's vacation there (and would have spent more, if I could have). If I ever go back down, that's where I'm heading again. Loved the history and the quaintness of it. And the cheese of the Fountain of Youth! *g*

it really is a very cool city. Lived in Fl 3 years and that is literally the only place i'd consider moving to there

I feel exactly the same way. I have no desire to move to Florida, but if someday I did decide to move south, that's where I'd go - if it's still as charming as it was fifiteen years ago.

it was pretty charming just three years ago if that helps
