shorter & less expensive flights to visit family, sushi.

And I thought, "Why does she need a flight to visit sushi--oh, wait."

Is there not sushi in Dublin? Would it be a many-year move, or something for just a few years? Don't forgrt, everyone there will get additional attractiveness points for accents...

I need to visit Dublin, because it's difficult to make a good decision when you have not been to a place. I need a visa to work there, so probably 2 years at least, with a max of 3-5 years depending on the type of visa.

In the continuing saga that is my family, oldest son got arrested for drunk driving. Dad bailed him out. WTF, Dad? Took him to his scheduled outpatient rehab program, where they told Dad to take him to the ER because he was drunk and hallucinating (he's also been abusing his ativan). And apparently, when he was driving Mom home from the ER and she was screaming at him to slow down, stop at the lights, get back into the right lane, he began pounding the steering wheel and screaming "I'm not out of control!". If they hadn't been driving, Mum would still have been fearful for her safety. Christ.

At least Mum finally realizes that he can't come home. And he's bad enough finally that he can get financial assistance in getting into a full-time rehab clinic.

Dublin is a lovely city. I am positive they have sushi. But it is across the ocean from your family.

Does pickled herring count? They have that.

A friend of mine had job offers in Dublin and LA, and noted that they were the same distance from his family home in Maine.

Dublin was much more distant in travel time, though, given the paucity of Portland-Dublin flights.

He decided based on sunshine and mountains anyway, not distance.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

The next project on my list is a) looking for a needle in a haystack, and b) something that I was told could wait until tomorrow.

It turns out this is not a good combination for me.
