Do you know the way?

Blogging on the train. No that's not code for something. Especially something dirty, you need to get your mind out of the gutter. I am on my way to Los Angeles for a visit with my 3 month old nephew (who according to his parents is growing hair, all photographic evidence to the contrary) and his parents. My sister in law is back to work already, granted it is part time, but I am so happy that they are taking to the family thing like ducks to water. And now that I am living a life of leisure (at least until the unemployment checks run out), and travel time is not the most important factor in my trip planning, I decided to travel via rail.

I don't have the heart to tell them, but I actually have an ulterior motive for my visit. I have been somewhat remiss in my job search efforts this last week. Part of it was the school factor. I've enjoyed the freedom of purpose that acting like a college student brings. Having two very easy classes provides a slim illusion that I am actually requiring my brain to actually activate for some advanced work, but like I said, it's nice to pretend. I did have that psychological epiphany that I am better suited to study than work, but that's not a realistic long term plan.

I am going to scout the possibilities of moving to LA in the near future. That is my big secret. 75% of all job opportunities in my current field seem to be located in the greater LA area. So I'm going to see if the anecdotal evidence about reduced housing costs are true. If I can afford to live there, I might actually take the plunge. So do you know the way to LA? My way is on this lovely combination bus and train trip. I wonder if it will lead to my next big lifestyle change?
