Looks like the campaign I began four years ago is nearly finished so could be CCA may lose its resident self-appointed plenipotentiary ere long...the other potential good news is that there'll be a dandy and rather large "liquidation" sale.

Think I hear mountain cloud forests beckoning, but it could just be garden variety pristine wilderness. Or a harpy eagle...

Biggest sigh ever.

Sam,

Be a little less cryptic, for once, please!

Are you saying that because of some supposedly enforceable agreement between the U.S. and China, you're moving to Costa Rica? Hope that's not true.

Wait a minute.

All we had to do was kerb greenhouse gas and we could have gotten rid of Sam ages ago!? WHO KNEW!?

(Kidding! Just kidding!

But I agree with Matt on this one.

Don't worry, some other up and coming county will produce enough greenhouse gasses to make up for the US-Chinese decline. You'll just have to work on a different country for their compliance.

Sam

Congrats on the success of your hard work, although I hope you can stay in the area. If your travels do take you somewhere else, you'll always be welcome here on the forum.

Congratulations! Where are you thinking of going? I hear Virgin has started booking space flights ;-).

Nope

I'm pretty sure Sam's already been there.

Outer or inner, much the same...

Lot to be said for some one-way round trips....as always, mostly depends on shot selection.

Anything involving a golf bag is already a lost cause.

I was thinking tequila for the "shot" reference

Well **** dude. From our prior conversations, I figured that this was coming at some point. You will certainly be missed, Sam.

Any idea on timeline?

 

[dogofwar]

The bad news: We're not going to have Sam around (until he returns to DC)

The good news: We'll have an international CCA correspondent. Oh yeah, and a world-class environmentalist out there working to at least slow global warming from converting Gaithersburg into oceanfront property...

SAM! Can you tell us what is going on? All this speculation is driving me crazy. What is going on? Are you leaving?

I was under the impression that you already were. But then all the best people are at least a bit so...

ETD by year's end unless some local and forward-thinking foundation (the rarest of rare creatures) offers a spot as a program officer/director. Very unlikely, but Iquitos sounds intriguing...

So, is Trader Joe's hiring?

Wherever you go, make sure you have space for your foxes to run and receive awkward, socially inept visitors.
