Hey "Y'all" (did I say that right?) After 30(ish) years of living in/around Boston, I'm now headed South (yes, that's with a capital 'S'!) to be with a certain "special someone." [fluttering eyes and staring-off dreamily..] Migration to his turf lands me in Columbia, SC. So! any tips for surviving the likely-to-ensue culture shock are welcome. ;-) And any leads on cool jobs are even more welcome. I really hope to find a bunch of others "like us" down there, as SC is currently a big hole in the LUG map!! [1] So, if you're listening, please write. I'll be there in December. -Suz [1] m u s t. . . . c o m p l e t e. . . . .

Well let me welcome you on down to the sunny south, take a good look at that Boston snow before you leave since you won't see much of that around these parts.
