Go West.

This week I accepted a new job as an HR VP with Safeco Insurance in Seattle. I will finish out this week with Qwest and start at Safeco on June 4. It is a very exciting opportunity that found me-- which is the way these things are supposed to happen. While the Seattle Mariners (THE west coast rival of my NY Yankees) play at Safeco Field, I still think I can make this work. Jon will stay in his PR job with Qwest in Denver and always look for excuses to find projects in Seattle.

Jon and I are keeping our home in Denver and will find one in Seattle. We'll spend lots of time between the two cities. In fact, we're headed to Seattle on Saturday morning for a few days to look at condos. I'll remain as Board Chair at Colorado AIDS Project through 2007, I've even negotiated with my boss-to-be the flexibility to attend monthly board meetings. I plan to stay engaged in the Denver community as I want to to get a great volunteer gig at the Democratic National Convention, hosted in Denver in August 2008. Ok, that was a shameless plug.

I promise to be more consistent with updates to my blog as I think the tale of two cities will give me lots to write about.
