California Dreaming...
What happens in General, stays in General.You know what they say about assumptions! -

Two years ago the opportunity came along. Life long dream. But then new child, tied into a lease on a shop, online business, partner adamant they didn't want to go.Originally posted by Cliphead View PostWorked in the US, many places but CA and LA in particular were very strange...
Got rid of the shop, got rid of the online business, kids older & partner under no misconceptions that I'm going regardless and can either stay with the kids or bring with. Either way, this time if it comes off I'm going and will make it work with regular commutes.What happens in General, stays in General.You know what they say about assumptions!Comment
