Good Morning everyone…..

So glad one of our favorite taverna’s made the post. They had the BEST moussaka but that was the table after we had espresso and gellato after that fine meal.

My boyfriend and I were saying last night how much we miss Crete. That day we had gone into the city to change the sailing date of the ferry to Athens. We ended changing our plans and staying all but 2 days of our 3 week vacation on Crete and are really glad we did.

The city was bustling until the official lunch time. Poof, the traffic was gone, the streets cleared, shops close and everyone is having their lunch and siesta time.

Good Morning from the Aegean island of Lesbos (Mytilini, as we refer to it) Greece! So many wonderful postings about Greece. We have spent 6 months a year for the last 15 years in Mytilini. I have often wondered why we have so many European visitors and rarely an American one. Americans are missing a treat: Lush, green mountains with more than 12 million olive trees, views of Turkey across the channel, wonderful beaches, and lots of local color, especially in July and August. Plomari, ouzo capital of the world, is a small town of about 3500 people on the southeast coast of the island. This weekend is the annual Ouzo Festival–lots of local music and dancing, strolls up and down the main street, long, late-night meals at seaside tavernas. What a crowd last night. We could hear the music from the town far into the night. Tonight (Sunday) is the big night with Greece’s most famous bouzouki player, Christos Nikolopoulos, featured in the program. Wish you were here!

This morning on NPR’s Scott Simons morning program Senior News Analyst Daniel Schorr summarized this week as a “continuing battle of two branches of government” focused on contempt and perjury.

I heard that. Much as I respect Dan Schorr’s years of news experience, his surface and too-facile dismissal of the situation really infuriated me. To someone who hadn’t been following the story, it would sound like a minor scuffle.

But, then, there’s almost no in-depth reporting on NPR anymore, and far too much air time given to flacks like Brooks.

N=1,
I’m EPU’d here,but if you check this thread again,consider Emory in Atlanta as a possibility. There’s a university and a hospital here,the entire Emory machine is enormous.

Atlanta itself,inside the city,still has places where it’s affordable to live,there’s pretty efficient public transportation,and the cost of living(outside the ritzy places)is not too bad. There’s also the CDC here,and other large medical related facilities of all kinds. Every suburb has a huge part of itself devoted to every kind of medical specialty you can think of.

Try looking on the Atlanta Journal/Constitution website as a starting place for city info and where to find various resources.

Thanks so much, but I don’t have the time or resources to look outside NY state. I have to be out of my apt Monday evening.

Also by him, A Sunburned Countrywhich I haven’t read, but is said to also be a highly entertaining read.

N=1, much of VT is rural; but Burlington is fine to live in with no car. As I say, much is walkable; and there is pretty reasonable public transport – via city buses for outlying housing. And you get the Vermont way of life -Burlington is very artsy, theater, music, right on Lake Champlain, ringed by mountains – consistently rated one of the cleanest, healthiest and most livable cities. Plus, you get our fabulous congressional contingent: Leahy, Sanders and Welch. Do check it out.

It sounds lovely, and I think I would enjoy that. However, I don’t have the means or time to get licensed – it’s a process which takes a month or two and fees which I don’t have. And then there’s the pesky moving thing, traveling to interviews, etc. I’m afraid it’s out of reach for me, but I appreciate your providing me with the info. Maybe sometime when I have more stability to be able to go looking at leisure….

This might tide you over….

Wow! Is that ever interesting! I could have used them, myself. Unfortunately, I am an ABD – I didn’t write the dissertation so I don’t qualify. But thanks so much for finding that!
