I've thought about moving to Massachusetts because of how much better the schools are there. Honestly if I was raising kids and I could afford to move anywhere in the US I'd move to Massachusetts so they could have a much better education. At 32 it may be too late for me to have success in college especially since I dropped out of junior college at 24, although maybe I could find something too if I could afford it. It's too bad that Massachusetts is so damn expensive though although definitely not as expensive as my home and current state California

Heard recently; the difference between east coast (northeast) and west coast people. East coast folks and not nice, but are kind. West coast people are nice, but not kind. The example was, failing to change a tire, on the west coast, they will empathize as they drive by (nice, but not kind), on the east coast, they pull over, give you rash of shit for not knowing how to change a tire, all while they are changing your tire for you. (Kind, but not nice) I think that nails it, and I'd rather the kind but not nice approach.

Furthermore, since the last time I was there, most of my remaining family there either passed away or moved down south to Florida, so there really isn't much left for me there other than my beloved sports teams. Of course, I still miss it there, though...the four distinct seasons, the beautiful nature throughout New England, the history....maybe one day it'll be suitable for me to go back.
