 I had to check my calendar to make sure I didn't go back in time

 Here's a job advertisement for a "Senior PDP-11 Software Designer"

 This would be my dream job if I was single and unattached... I'd move
 to Peterborough in a heartbeat.

Well, give it some consideration anyway.  Talk to your spouse/partner.  I live in
Vancouver BC, but took a job in Halifax, Nova Scotia because it was a real opportunity and
a "dream job" for me.  These opportunities don't come up often.

I was able to work out a generally-achievable "two weeks on; two weeks off"
schedule, and commute to Vancouver to see my wife.  The distance is tough, but there's
Vonage/Skype for free calls, and I get home every 2 - 3 weeks, or at worst once a month
for a week.
