What else? If you are interested in Assisted Suicide, I’d go to Oregon, cause its legal there. If you arent… then NC is perfect!

And your dad lives in NC!!!!!!!!! ( Hah! I pay attention!)

We bought our house in 2005 for $317,000 which was a bargain back then. It is a 3 bed, 2 bath cape on 1/3 acre in a nice cul de sac. Considering the 2 bed 1.5 bath ranch two doors down went for $328,000 a week later, I count us lucky. The house is about 1400 sf and it was perfect for us – we truly love it. I do wish I could pick it up and put it in Plymouth (which still feels more like home to me) but it’s a great place to raise a family. Good luck with your looking!

PS – not a huge Christian population in MA… very liberal state but you can find some good churches and good people.

But really, penguins should be part of the rozerum dream rather than sominex…

Of course, I like to tout Fort Collins, but you should check out what 168,000 will get you in Des Moines, Iowa:

The original 'The Lark' was published at the end of the century — not the one which first comes to mind, but San Francisco of the 1890's.

Gelett Burgess, one of it's editors gave the world the famous quatrain on 'The Purple Cow':

'I never saw a Purple Cow,

I never hope to see one.

But I can tell you anyhow,

I'd rather see than be one.'

And, somewhat later, produced a sequel:

'Ah, yes, I wrote "the Purple Cow" —

I'm sorry now I wrote it,

But I can tell you anyhow,

I'll kill you if you quote it.'

(In 1905, Amelia Neville left San Francisco after it had been her home for nearly fifty years — a number which kinda makes you think of John for some reason…)

Oh and John, we spent a few years in southern Ohio and fell in love with it. Probably along the same vein as what you loved about Indiana. New England has so many wonderful things about it, but the winters are pretty harsh…Ohio has winter, but it's more bearable.

Those are my 2 cents anyway…

Love your blog Kerri! I didn't take HS Chem, so now I've been enlightened. Nerds are certainly welcome in this town! I think anyone who knows what colorants are — gee, I could use a little help with picking out colors for my wall…

Well, and that post from Lark news… ROFLAO! I so need that group too ; – )

“Fort Collins has another notable recognition to add to its list. Fast Company magazine recently named Fort Collins as one of the 30 Fastest Cities to Work, Live and Play.

The newest designation ranks Fort Collins up with world business leaders such as Toronto, London and Shanghai. The magazine, based out of New York, defines a Fast City as one that “attracts fast companies … the most creative, smartest, effective and innovative…”
