That makes me think about the fact that I'm still here, too. We came because R. decided to go to graduate school at UMass (out of several widely divergent places he could have chosen), and I had no predictions for what would happen after that, but now it's almost 25 years later. I can't think of too many reasons to go back to the Midwest, even with blood relatives there, although if I had no ties left here, I might go find a spot out there in an artists' colony I've heard about.
I'm certainly glad you're here, too -- it was an interesting turn of fate that we met!
