Awww shucks, you folks, what a lovely thought.  Just so you
understand here, I'm not upset, angry or worried about this
change. I'm not down to my last few dollars either. It's quite
liberating in fact. I get to walk away with a modest fistful of
$ after 11 years with my current employer, I get to move back to
my old home town and spend lots more time with my family and I
have a completely unknown work future ahead of me which is both
slightly nerve-wracking and terribly exciting and invigorating
at the same time. I have zero doubt I'll easily get some kind of
job, I just don't know what that work will be just yet.  It's
almost certain I won't have the time or access to my darkroom
stuff to do my own B&W hand-made prints because I'm now in the
middle of packing house, preparing to sell house, project
managing various things on the block of land I've bought near
Mackay to make it liveable in 7 weeks and then moving up to live
there around the beginning of November to either start work or
to continue the job hu
