I'm a middle-aged fart and if you all plan on meeting at a coffee house, this is a pretty good place to meet in Arlington. murkycoffee.com
Well...through one of those events that only God could orchestrate....
Not only did the relationship with the woman in Northern VA dissolve (something I wasn't entirely surprised by, but not exactly expecting), but an ex-girlfriend (in St. Louis) appeared on the scene just 3 days before said relationship broke up (no, she had nothing to do with it ).
At first, when the VA relationship ended, I still planned on relocating halfway across the country to start my new career, new job, etc. However, I began to think about the exgf, and realized that I made a serious mistake in breaking up with her, and decided to risk it all by staying to see if things could work out (so far, so good....but it's still very early in the process).
So, I decided to cancel the relocation plans and stay in St. Louis for the time being. The official local job application/interview process is starting this week, so I'm staying put for the time being.
Have fun in the DC area. Have a happy hour margarita for me.
