Goodbye To my sweet paradise

23 Dec

Posted by: Cal Evans in: Silly-Con Valley

Dear Reader,

I have a favorite quote about San Jose by Shakespeare:

“This other Eden…
demi-paradise…
this precious stone…
set in the silver sea of this earth,
this ground… this San Jose.”

(ok, Steve Martin stole it from Shakespeare, I’m stealing it from him.)

I am both excited and sad. Yes, I will finally be back home with my wife (the lovely and talented Kathy) and kids. (oh…and the dogs…yea…whoopie…I get to see my dogs again…seriosuly, HTML NEEDS a sarcasm tag!)

But I’m sad to go. As much fun as has been poked at life in The Valley, it truly is a great place to live. Yes, it’s expensive here. Exhorbantly expensive, but if you are a programmer there is no better place on earth to be. These truly are my people. I feel like I’ve found the lost tribe of Judah and they are all Pengunistas!

So it is with sad heart that I say good bye to all my friends. Remember me fondly.

About Me

This is my blog. Sometimes it's my deep thoughts, sometimes it's a journal of things I've learned. Every now and then it's my box of shattered dreams. Most of the time though, it's just the place I like to write. Sit with me as I show you some postcards from my life. While you are here, do me a favor and leave a comment.

My name is Cal Evans and this is my blog.
