Ed,
I've got to agree with what the guys have said, I've lived in both Nashville and Franklin and they're HORRIBLE places to live, so even consider it!!  
Just kidding of course.
BTW, it was great meeting you and cousin Dave in Maggie Valley, Ilene said to tell you both hello too.

I've heard the weather is really nice in San Diego (my son lives there) but what about seasons and a variety of temps?  [smiley=nixweiss.gif]

SD has 3 weather reports each evening.  Coastal, mountains and desert.  I refer only to coastal.  Summer average mid to upper 70's  Winter ave mid to upper 60's.   Check the weather underground website for historical weather info including rainfall.  Seasons are more subtle but do exist.  

Sedona Az , another spot suggested, is drop dead gorgeous.  Summer around 90-100 winter 50-75.

That's some good advice from a man that's Gettinold!!!!

What about Charlestown SC. 4 hours to the mountains, you are already on the coast, back roads have not been too developed yet.

Such an interesting question that has been pondered here before and else where for us.

Ed,

Got any HR jobs in Durango or Pagossa Springs?

I guess I should be more grateful for Sacramento.  At 30 feet above sea level, we're only an hour and a half from elevations over 7,000 feet.  The ocean is an hour and a half away.  We have the Sacramento and American River for boating, a large number of lakes within an hour drive.  Temps. range from freezing in the winter to 110-112 in the summer.  Places like Yosemite National Park, Napa Valley, the California Redwoods and Lake Tahoe all within two hours.

The down side of course, as with all of Calif, is the cost of living.  Homes are starting to depreciate a little (so we're loosing some of that 100% appreciation that we gained over the past three years) so if you hurry........you might find a very small house for under half a million.

You are indeed fortunate to have those beautiful things around you, JC.  But half a mil for a house smaller than I have (and mine is modest) is out of my league, buddy!  So I guess I'll stay here for another 5 years, then see where things take me.  Hope to make it out your way in the next year or so though....

Ed...lot's of good recommendations here...with all the friends you've made, you could probably just take a month or so and travel around checking all the places out, with free places to crash for a night or two.  If you can put up with a pony in the house (my 90 lb Greyhound), you're welcome in Birmingham for as long as you need.  I might even have a couple of connections for job possibilities...

Now dOOd if we thought it was hard to get you to Maggie Valley, imagine driving there from Reno!

I looked at a few condo's in Reno when I was out there but figured my money was better invested in out running Hubbard! One down, one to go!
