[blparent] Moving: Think it over. Long and hard

[Eric Calhoun]

Sarah, I live near the University of Southern California.  That's 5 minutes
from me.  The University of California at Los Angeles, (Westwood Village,)
is 10 minutes' drive from me..  And for Rob, I do use Dial-A-Ride in
Riverside.  Again, lots of commuting choices.

One of my favorite times to travel is in the summer and autumn, where the
weather is warm.  I frequently travel to Orange County, andvolunteer for
German Shepherd Rescue of Orange County.

For blind parents and children, So-Cal is very accommodating year round.



Sarah, I lived in Dayton-Springfield for a year and do not hate snow. 
I've skied here in CA and Colorado.  This goes back to my original comment:
make friends with people and pay them to shovel your sidewalk.  Times are
hard, Amanda, pay them a suggested $5.00.  

So, prioritize your life.  Listen to your kids.  Do you really feel it's
really worth it, uprooting  your family for a move?  Listen to your kids;
they come first.  Again, is it really worth it, your kids missing your
friends and theirs at school?  Do you really worth the anguish because you
want to move?

Eric
