Sounds like a plan, eh? But you know what they say: if you want to see God's sense of humor - let him know your plans.  | I lived in metro-Boston for almost 20 years and am a native New Englander...so coming to Columbia (and the mid-west) was quite a shock for us. But there's a lot to be said for zero traffic (in comparison) and a 10 minute commute. Maybe I can't get some of the stuff I was accustomed to getting in the big city, but Columbia has a nice way of making up for all that! I'll definitely need to live near the ocean and/or mountains again one day, but CoMo's not a bad place to be in the mean time.
