On a macro scale, having worked in Perth Australia for a while in 89 my wife and I considered moving there but that marriage fell apart as did the move.
In 2001 I had a chance to move to Dallas but declined having just 2 years earlier dragged the family to California. The guy who took the job eventually became my boss and laid me off, setting in motion a series of events that see me where I am today.
