Why This Blog?

This blog is here mostly for my own sake, to keep track of a chain of events that began on February 4, 2009.

The chain of events included among other things, initiating a move across the Atlantic, to Buffalo, NY, USA. After having followed through on our plans, we find ourselves in Hamburg, NY, in our new home, I have a new job, we all enjoy having gotten a chance to do something different.

It has been a long journey though, it has included:

• Selling a condo during the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression.
• Acquiring a US Immigrant Visa now turned into a Green Card for me.
• Registering our son’s US Citizenship.
• Selling/dumping/shipping all our worldly possessions.
• Getting a US Learner Permit for me, later turned into a Driving License.
• Finding a place to live, dealing with the hassles of having no credit history.
• Me working at a mini mart to keep sane.
• Looking for employment in an area with very high unemployment and few tech jobs available.
• After two months, I got a job with an employer which I stayed with until June 24, 2011, it was a great place to work, great colleagues and tasks.
• On June 27, 2011, I start in a new position with a major medical device manufacturer in Western New York, it feels as though the circle is complete, I look forward to new challenges and feel now that we made the right decision in February of 2009.
