Enorah, I always knew that you and I were kindred spirits 🙂 My partner and I have also decided to move to Ojai (or Carpinteria) in a few months. It is most definitely time to leave L.A. And we, too, are being called. Ojai/Carp is close enough to L.A. to allow us to visit and allow me to tele-commute a few days a week until I am laid off after my contract expires in March 2011. Ihave no bloody idea how my company will survive until then, but if they do I’m getting paid 🙂
We’ve got an organic garden all planned out in our minds, and we have our eyes on a few houses on decent acreage with large back yards and plenty of room for our son and dogs to romp. I don’t think folks are going to adjust easily to the coming *changes* this year, and my sense is that it would be prudent to be around fewer people than more. A peaceful place in the country will be priceless. Perhaps you and I can hang out when we get there!
