Well, things have been hectic and stressful around the house lately for many reasons. Now they are going to get more stressful. I've been holding off saying anything about this until the time got closer, but I think it's time to go ahead and announce it, as those who come over tomorrow will know anyway. Jennifer was offered a promotion with her company in Montgomery, Al. and starts work on Tuesday there... She found out about the position on Monday, so there hasn't been too much time to react. I will not be leaving town immediately, as I have not found a job down there yet. I'll be here most likely for at least another couple of weeks to a month (gotta paint and sell the house, etc., too). Before November, she'd have been hard pressed to get me to leave my job (I've got it made-my bosses are on the West Coast, so I run it as I please), but things within my company have changed and I am no longer happy at all. We are starting to think of kids, too, so moving closer to her family makes her feel a lot more comfortable about that. it's a good thing and a bad thing... One of the things that makes me so content in Nashville is the reef club. It's great to be able to get together every night with everyone to discuss the hobby. When the club formed and I was introduced to Reef Central, I was instantly addicted. The club that has developed is a great club full of great people and I'm going to miss you all tremendously when I leave. I still plan to be fixture around the forum (not sure if there is anything in South Alabama at all-need to check, but I guess it is only an hour from B'mingham, so I think NARC is there). This is the hardest part for me (aside from moving further from my family). I get sad whenever I think to long on it...
Anyway, that is going to leave an open position for Presidential nomination. There are a number of you that I would recommend for this position, but I don't want to name names because I've got a list and wouldn't want to leave anyone out. I'll gladly continue doing anything I have been doing until I am out of town (like I said, it could be weeks or a month or more) and will gladly help out with anything else I can even after I leave. We suspected something along these lines might happen (the move), but were not thinking anything at all on this short a time frame. That is where the ulterior motive I mentioned in the gflat has clap thread comes in. I wanted to make sure enough people saw what I was doing for the initial swap set up to just pick it up next year and keep it rolling along. Last year's was a great success, so if this one goes off as well, than MTRC frag swaps should only continue to grow over the years. It's long been an idea for me to have frag swaps in every part of the state at 3-4 month intervals (East Tn are, Middle Tn area and West Tn area) to bring in a variety of different people and corals and ensure that no one has to go very long between fixes
. Tennessee has some very strong clubs, so that is an excellent possibility for the future.
Anyway, my main message is that I will be moving some time in the pretty near future. I'll be bacheloring it up during the weeks until I move (Jenn's coming home on the weekends), but the move is inevitable. I hope this explains why I've fallen down on the swap already a few times. I'm pretty stressed out with the whole move idea (the tanks are going to be a monster). I've got so much on my mind, I forget what I'm supposed to be doing most of the time these days...
