Have A Great Summer Everyone

Audiogon is a favorite winter activity for me. I thoroughly enjoy the tech talk, music gab, and all of the personalities that make this site so enjoyable. Even the bantering and bickering back and forth is interesting as it demonstrates the passion that most people feel for this hobby and for music in general.

Music is good for the soul.

I will be relocating to the Pacific coast later this summer after being born, raised, and having spent 45 years of my life here in Connecticut. I have many lifelong friends here that I will miss dearly. The winters are really starting to take their toll on me. I am an outdoor person, and spending six months out of every year stuck inside just ain't cuttin' it any longer.

So for now, I would like to wish eveyone on this site, and their families, a happy, healthy, and safe summer. And most importantly.....

Happy Listening.

I very much look forward to rejoining you all next "winter" (if that's what they call it in California).

My Best and Most Sincere Regards to ALL, Ed.

Hi Ed,

We eagerly await your arrival out here in CA. I left the East coast fifteen years ago and never looked back. Let me assure you that the minute you cross the state line your going to feel ten years younger.

I still get a chuckle almost everyday when I walk outside and the temperture is just perfect (year round) no humidity, no rain, no snow. CAN WE TALK?

Oh and just for the record, I haven't felt a decent earthquake in over ten years, nor has it ever flooded anywhere around my house in the Santa-Cruz mountains.

Oh yea, I think your going to like it here! Did I mention the selection of fresh fruits and vegtables vine ripe in the groccery stores every day of the year? Get ready for some good healthy eating! There's just something about living here that makes you want to eat right and stay in shape,

Need I mention the eye candy?

Oh, and we don't smoke cigarettes out here, so get ready for some good fresh air when ever your in a resturant or a store, you will never smell that stench.

Anyway, we'll be hering from you soon, Let us know where you settle in

Welcome to California, Ed.
I left NYC 30+ years ago to come to California. I've lived in Northern Calif, Central Calif (near Yosemite) and now I'm living in Santa Barbara. Hey, where else can you go skiing in the mountains and swimming on the beach all within a few hours.
Welcome to America's favorite playground!

Geez,
Even if you walk to Californie, you should be there before winter. Even if it is, you won't notice the difference. Yahoo huh!
I live on the Pacific coast also, unfortunatly it's in the Seattle area, born and raised. Too much grey and rain. I do manage to vacation for a week or two in Palm Springs every year and just love it.
At the rate I'm going however, I don't know if I'll ever be able to retire there. If I'd quite my Hi Fi habit, there might be some hope. I wonder if the Betty Ford clinic has a program for us? I'd better check into that, could be my way out.
When you get there, buy a laptop with a wireless connection and you can sit outside every day, and stay in touch with all us Audiogon nuts year round(is that one word or two?)
Best of luck in your new adventure.

Buscis: I hope that your relocation is smooth and uneventful. I can't imagine what it is like to pick up and move after being in one place for so long, let alone to the other side of the country. Besides all of the work involved, there's a lot of emotion to deal with too. I hope that it is well worth the effort and that you can take full advantage of the warmer climate once you're fully settled in. Best wishes and don't forget to pack your "bikini watching gear" : ) Sean
