Oh? How sure? We talk all the time about people that drop off the radar screen
mysteriously.

What prompted that? Your promotion? Quality of life?

Remembering going to the car wash and having your window crack when the water
hit it? Driving blind into the sun? Your air conditioning breaking and
every thing made out of wax in your home melting? $200 summer cooling bills?
Tubing in the rather yellow salt "river" with 1000 college kids? Yeah,
Phoenix truely is a special place...

It looks like there is a lot of demand for programmers right now - if they
have secret clearance. You could be in a good position right now, in
your current job, to tap into that.

That would be trippy!
