Oh, happy day! It’s an executive-level position, Chief Distribution Officer, for one of the country’s premiere alternative delivery companies. Based in San Antonio (meaning I’ll thankfully get to move from Knoxville, TN), they offered a six-figure package complete with “signing bonus”, stock options, and a pretty hefty base pay. My wife and I are so excited I don’t think we slept much beyond a couple of hours last night. Truly… you have NO idea as to how awesome this is. ( 😃 \* Googleplex. ) I feel 10 years younger than I did this time yesterday. ---

Congrats! But I know someone from TN (now in CA) who always speaks as if he’d go back to TN in a minute if he could get a job (like his current one) in TN. Or did I just answer my own question? ---
