Time to move to Boise and eat currywurst with Ben?
« on: June 25, 2019, 07:58:48 PM »
I know it would be a bit of a drive for him, though.

I came home to a lovely email from the senior talent acquisition scout asking if I have ever thought of moving to Boise, since they sure would like it if I became the Director of Risk Management for the St. Alphonsus system.  St. Alphonsus is the large healthcare system in Boise, and I did some risk management consulting for them a few years back.  I must have made an impression.

The wife said it would be a wonderful idea for me to move to Boise, and she could  stay here and take care of the house.  She seems strangely eager for me to pursue this opportunity......

You are one lousy risk manager.

We'd be happy to have you! Though housing prices in Boise proper are getting up there with your neck of the woods. Still some good deals within a 30 min drive though. It would be Boise proper? I see big St Alphonsus buildings all over the metropolitan area.

If the Currywurst is a good a Ben claims, then it's a no brainer....
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

You don't need to really worry till she books your solo vacation to the Dominican Republic.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

(Yeah, there's another guy down there who mysteriously hit critical yesterday/today.  DR insists it's not any more than usual for tourists. TV reporters on CH 2 are suggesting various cautions, like drink only what you brung, or carefully watching what the barkeep pours, use your own sunscreen, etc.)

this guy's been married.
I shall not die alone, alone, but kin to all the powers,
As merry as the ancient sun and fighting like the flowers.
