A Change of Scenery.

A few weeks ago, AMF and I decided that the DC area would be our home. The previous plan was for the two of us to settle in the Chicago suburbs, but, you know- things change. Last Sunday, we signed a lease on a place in Arlington, and as soon as I can find gainful employment out that way, I'll be a Virginian.

There's a lot that goes into a decision like this, so, being responsible and mature adults, we put lots into it. There are plenty of folks who think it's a poor decision, but it's ours, so, I'll take good care of it.

We moved continually throughout my childhood, so I suppose that heading out East is no big deal. That said, I've been in Illinois for the last seven years, so I'm sure I'll miss Illinois. I'll certainly miss my family. I'll also miss the couple of friends I still have out here, as well as my favorite bar. So, it goes. A new chapter begins.

Ben recently relocated himself, from the Chicago area to Madison, WI. The change seems to have done him some good. At the very least, it's done me some good, as it's resulted in some updates to his oft-dormant blog. There are some great pieces here, and I hope his recent increase in output continues. I encourage you to check out his site; whether or not you're a fan of punk music or not, you'll certainly be a fan of his storytelling.
