Aha! I *thought* your user name sounded kinda long-ago familiar! You used to post on the SICC boards, I remember when your Louis once was very ill in the hospital, and you were so worried about him... so sorry to hear that he had to leave you, he sounds like he was very special.

Hi Betsy ~ I never imagined in a million years that I would ever leave California... but sadly, the economy vs. my finances basically drove me out. You being so close to Santa Clara County, you most likely see the news or read in the papers about the high rents, lack of jobs, etc. all around...
