Isaac, Sorry about taking so long to reply - rough weekend.
My sympathies. I've been in the same boat. Anyhow the last time I was seriously searching on the Washington Post site, I registered on the job sections and uploaded my resume. I got a fair number of responses from recruiters and corporate head hunters. This area is thought to be a hot bed for CF related jobs. Both for short term contracts and permanent jobs. Unfortunately the drawback is that housing is expensive and traffic sucks. Regardless if there's anything I can do to help I'll be glad to. larry On 3/4/06, S.
