Obviously your only option is to return to Oxford and help me take care of my baby (record shop and watch tv).

or tom, steve could sing for "army coach" and maybe mike and i could find a job for him at cengage--with benefits like health insurance and whatnot... and he could join tots with us and joe and billy and mike and we could rule the world that is southwest ohio...

it's perfect... TOTS to the rescue...

You are sick? What is going on?

We are disconnected, but it doesn't mean that I don't care, nor does it mean that I have forgotten how great you are. Honestly, thinking over my life, I am pretty sure that you and I have never EVER had any clashes.

Cleveland is amazing. I still love it. I love it so much I committed, and now I'm stuck here for many years. I am not really afraid of that, other than the fact that I hate my job, and I can't get a job in my field, and I wasted about 10 years of college... which i can't pay for...

What kind of work are you looking for? Do you want to teach?

I feel obligated to point out that Chicago, like Cleveland, starts with a "C" and has a large body of water nearby so you would never get homesick.

Also, while the wind is cold, the girls are hot and the food is tasty. The man who invented pastry records would have a spectacular future hereabouts. Just sayin'.

And who's afraid of Virginia Woolf? NOOOO-BODY! (yell it like a cheer)

And I got your back, friend.

clearly, you're trying to start a bidding war...

come to cleveland, william. it's gonna be great.

[i_heart_tobydog]

> > "i realize it is completely ridiculous to have such fondness for a place. for something static. i was born there and i lived there for a long time and i have very deep connections with people. but still, i wonder..."

Place is everything to me and I'm learning not to apologize for that. I loved Oxford. I went for the trees and stayed for the autumns. (Well, and for the friends, obviously.) Then Aaron and I chose Charlottesville, VA over Boston, Chicago, and everywhere because the place is *magical*, surreal, lovely.

I used to have this idea that I had to go somewhere Big, to The City to "make it." Forget that. I wake up every morning and walk outside to mountains and blue skies, bright-eyed as pig-tailed Dorothy opening the door to the colorful land of Oz.

I say go where you're instincts take you.
