I’ve been offered lots of money to go to big cities, LA, San Fran, NYC and Boston to name a few. Even after cost of living adjustments they have been as much as three times my current pay. But at the end fo the day I’m not a big city guy. Seattle is nice, but it dosen’t feel ‘big’, people are generally friendly, and the east side burbs are no bigger than your typical mid-size town, making the ‘city’ portion of the lifestyle purely optional.

Does that mean I couldn’t ‘make it’ in New York or elsewhere? Of course not. I’d do just fine. Heck, given enough time I could even grow to like it. But I don’t really want to, and thus I stay where I am or consider offers from other comparable areas(which is how I got here in the first place).

It’s not even winter yet.

Right now, I’d gladly take a hit in pay to join LeBron down in Miami—anything to escape this bloody cold weather.

Give me Myrtle Beach and the MLB package.

Yes, the odds are against the Mets. But there are always injuries, unforeseen slumps, unexpected hot streaks.

I can’t express to you how grating I find that to be”

Thank You. I’m not all that impressed with NY either, and I get annoyed when people think I should be. It’s a place. If you like that place, live there. If you don’t, don’t. Just understand that people with options live where they live because they want to live there, and there reasons are their own.

I mean, at this point why bother…..
