On this day when some feel it is necessary to celebrate something people are supposed to do, I am thinking of going to grad school and finish this time. Finally all of my parental units have died and I have money to pay for grad school. That sounds more bitter than I intended it to sound.
I have lived where the teams are either too expensive (U of I for people not associated with the university is/was outrageously expensive) or there has been no team for too long. I want to do laps with others who want to do laps. I don't want to do laps where people don't complain about me swimming in there way as the piddle (my father's favorite word) down the lane doing something that looks like a *** stroke.
Here are the choices. I want to hear opinions -both good and bad.
Indianapolis (have friends)
Cleveland (as a kid a big Indians fan)
Phoenix (Did everyone see that they increased both their football & baseball budget? How does Ms. Love justify that?)
Northridge, CA (quaint)
San Francisco, Ca (looks like it might be more fun than it really is)
Portland, OR (Seattle-want-to-be)
Kansas City, MO ()
Denver, CO (Good friend lives there)
(The statements are from some one else not me)
The furthest west I've ever been is Iowa City, Topeka, San Antonio. I've lived in a small towns (Galesburg, IL the center of the universe and home of the Ferris Wheel), university/intellectual towns (Champaign/Urbana & Topeka, when Menninger was still there) and center cities with lots of suburbs. (DC, St. Louis, Houston). I've never lived in a suburb.
I think of the list only Northridge, CA is a suburb. I think Kansas City, MO is considered central city. To do this I am also thinking of buying a car. I'm 50 & never had one. I've been to Indy, Cleveland (it really has become a beautiful city), and Kansas City, MO (not the center of the universe as LDSers think).
Any response will be most welcomed.
Thanks a bill,

Washington DC has weird weather. Systems get stuck there and traps the car pollution. I still love it and think of it as my adult hometown. You have to give them a lot of credit because they have managed to really make the neighborhood change.
U of I Chicago has a new President. She used to be the Dean for a Social Worker school some where like Michigan. It is amazing how expensive the schools in Chicago are. Spertus is more expensive than is Harvard. I am beginning to that most of them think way too much of themselves. How can any class be worth more than $4,000?
I had a really good friend inDc whose wife worked for Medicin Sans Pays. i have another friend who lives in Geneva and works for UNESCO.
