I spent many months in the Rocky Mountains skiing winters. Great powder snow. Beautiful scenery. If I had to live there I'd blow my friggin brains out. I'd get back to EWR (Newark Airport), breathe the bad air, have rude New Yorker bump into me and feel relaxed again.

Plus there's no Mets/Yankees fan feud west of the Delaware River.

Like I said, I can't wait to move. I'll be settling in AZ where I have some family. The first thing that comes to mind when I have a day off is getting away from the city for the day.

Damn, that sounds really, really good! Had some most excellent brioche a couple weekends back in Boston, and now have a tip on a bakery not too far from me that supposedly does a really good brioche.
On the list to check out over the weekend...

Seconded. I've had a custom frame from Doug, and he was great to work with. Quick, very decent prices, and a great bike.

Exactly. Even living closer to it now, I only like to go visit for the once in a while big city culture hit. Absofreakinglutely no desire to ever live there.
