The good news is now official - yesterday I accepted a new job as the General Manager of a restaurant called XXXXXX slated for opening this spring in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
The story of why I was looking in the first place starts with a school that we have been looking at for Luke. The only two drawbacks of the school were that it would require a bigger cushion of income and a move to the Ann Arbor area. I had never dreamed that in only two weeks I could solve both problems with one simple job search - I guess timing is everything. As it turns out, my particular set of skills is exactly what my new company was looking for in a GM. The new restaurant is loosely modeled after one of their other restaurants, XXXXXX in Royal Oak, MI.
The preliminary plan is to commute 45 minutes to Ann Arbor and start looking at housing options halfway between Toledo and Ann Arbor for a possible Summer or early Fall '06 move.
I'll keep everyone posted as this exciting story develops!

Congratulations, that's great! Sounds like a perfect fit.
Good going, David.!!! But why do you want to be halfway to Toledo? Courtney's job? And what is that? Congratulations, I think you are correct, timing is everything.
We want to be halfway to Toledo so we can still be close to Courtney's family. Also, Ann Arbor is relatively expensive compared to the outlying areas.
Great, DAVID!
You will have to let Ken and Colleen know where your new restaurant is! We will go there next time we go up - when is it opening?
