On August 15, 1999, I packed up a 14-foot U-haul truck and left St. Louis for Baltimore. It was an attempt to start a new life...my "grown-up" life after graduating from college.

After a dismal year in Washington, DC, Rhoda and I moved to Philadelphia on September 29, 2000 to seek a better home. I have grown particularly fond of this beloved city.

Unfortunately, 2 years later, and $12,000 poorer, my East Coast life will end at the end of January. Due to unusual and sad circumstances, I will be leaving Philadelphia and moving back to St. Louis.

I am by no means looking forward to going home...the only place I hate more than St. Louis is Washington, DC. But from a practical perspective, it is the rational, and right thing to do.

I will terribly miss Philadelphia and the ocean; however, I will remain on the Cellar and post faithfully. Hell, maybe I can finally meet dynamo (since he lives there).
