Dumpy's Summer League Adventure

[Dumpy]

The only think I might have done differently was interview some of the players. The more I thought about it, though, the less I wanted to actually speak to any of them.

Except Vince. I was ready to challenge him!

Thanks. I can't wait until I can move away from this miserable state, though.

Is it the humidity or the butterfly ballots?

Let me put it this way: for the last ten years, I lived in the most educated city in the U.S., with one of the highest standards of living, and with VERY high expectations for the services that the local government should provide (such as the quality of the public schools). Things are different here.

Where did you live before? You make me want to move there.

I'm a pretty cloistered being and work from my home, so I came to understand that, for me, it doesn't matter much where I live. And since I was born and raised here (NW Florida) and all my close family is here, I'm sure I'll live here 'til I die. Then again I have no kids, so my brother and sister are the ones that have to worry about schools and such. All I have to do is pay the property taxes that support them.

That said, I prefer my area of Florida to the central and southern parts. Not as congested, a little more old-fashioned, which is not always a bad thing.
