Thanks Pete,
Your right, I am very fortunate! Its very hard to leave here because its almost impossible to get back in! I moved here in 78 and lived with a friend going to UCSB. He moved back East years ago so he could afford a house. He regrets it and hopes to come back when he retires. He might have to move in with me again with the cost of housing here. :( I do miss the pizza , Jersey tomatoes, Taylor Ham, giant mosquitoes, humidity, and of course the rivalry between New York and NJ. :) Have a great time and look me up if you come for a visit.
Regards,
Rich
