I suppose this means I should technically write two posts, but at least I feel guilty about not writing yesterday.

I wish I could say I’ve had something exciting to do, but really I don’t. I bought a printer so I can more easily read my drafts of what I write (easier for rewrites as well) and I bought Randy Pausch’s book “The Last Lecture.” And phone interviews, and trying to figure out a way to get an address in Boulder Colorado.

I do like the idea of a cooler climate, especially with the heat of July in Texas. I’d be somewhat closer to my family, which is also a plus. But I do have friends and things I like here.

I like that I am near a group of professionals in the field I work in. DFWSEM is one of the leading local organizations of geeks in the United States who do what I do. I’d miss Christine Churchill terribly as she is an absolute scream, and extremely wise. She is a friend and mentor, and I owe her a lot.

And Jeff Martin, the creator of Vericlix. An amazing SEO and friend to whom I also owe a lot. He stood by me when everyone else ran for the hills. One of the most genuine people I’ve ever met, and probably the most honest guy in Internet Marketing. I cannot say enough about him. I shall miss him as well if I move away.

I’d also miss my friend Kristine, with whom I have dinner every Wednesday night just as a girls night out. She is wise beyond her years, and I often ask her advice in any situation involving people. And I know that Sebastian would miss Izzy.

And then there is my friend Vivian who is my neighbor who is so good she’ll help me hunt down Sebastian at night in the rain. You just don’t find many people like that. (OK, not only does she have an entry in the IMDB, but she’s also cool because she did production on Bon Jovi videos back in the late 80’s…)

And yet, I feel a need to change. I love the Dallas area, and Texas, but I feel that maybe I need to make a drastic change in my life. A new start with new people and friends.

But I still go back and forth. Move or not move?
