sorry, Team Boston
Despite the best efforts of our east-coast friends (and they *were* good efforts, believe me), the decision is done: ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kniedzw and I will be heading west. He's accepted a job offer from Akamai's San Mateo office.
Timetable is still fuzzy. His work starts June 16th, but I won't be following until (probably) August, along with all our stuff. Yes, this means moving in the middle of writing a book. On the bright side, Akamai is helping out with moving expenses, which means that for the first time in my life I can pay somebody else to do the heavy lifting. This makes me happier than I can say.
And I'm going to live in California! I confess that one thing which swung me toward the west coast was looking at the area in the satellite view of Google Maps; seeing San Mateo nestled between the blue of the water and the thick green belt of the hills made my heart sing. Nature! A bike ride away!kurayami_hime has been waxing poetic about the eucalyptus forests, and I'll get to see them for myself. And redwoods! I adores me some redwoods.
It'll be a new experience for us both. We won't necessarily stay there forever, but I'm glad we'll be staying there for a while.

The weather out here is generally lovely, there are great Farmers' Markets all over the place. You're close enough to San Francisco that you can go there if you want, but far enough away that you aren't in the city environment. There's great hiking in easy distance. There's also a really healthy SF community out here, which is one of the main reasons I moved to the area.
