Five Years...and Counting!

This weekend marks the fifth anniversary of my family moving to New England. Happy to be here, happy to stay.

Regular readers of this blog know that I'm still groovin' on the Blue State vibe of Massachusetts and its environs. As a former child of the South and an adult of the mid-Atlantic and the West, I've learned and experienced many new things.
