Oh man it's good to be back home.
Sure, I travel a lot. But on average I only go away two weekends a month, which really only adds up to 6 or 7 days a month away from home. Contrast that with my last few weeks... I was gone from July 4th until late last night (July 19th).
Whew! It's good to be home in Sacramento. I really like it here.
People always ask, "If you could live anywhere..."
Funny... when my wife and I were tooling around Maine, we really liked it, and even pondered the idea of, "What if we moved here some day?" (We always look around- wondering about the answer to the question, "If you could live anywhere, where would you live?") We even loved New Brunswick CANADA and saw some cute houses near the small town of Quispamsis that were really nice. Near the ocean, peaceful... not bad. And New England was cute- from the small tourist trap of Freeport Maine to the more urban streets around Harvard in Boston (no, I didn't kiss the statue's foot!). Fun.
But bottom line... I love Sacramento.
My ten second pitch: 90 minutes from San Francisco, 90 minutes from Lake Tahoe, Far enough away from Los Angelos (6 hoursish, depending on your definition of LA), but close enough to visit. Nice and hot during the summer, but not humid! No natural disasters (no hurricanes, Tornados, etc. Earthquakes are a good 90 minutes away, fires 45 to 60 minutes away. Flooding happens, but not often, and not near my house).
So if you could live anywhere... where would you live?
