This weekend has been one of those glorious first weekends of spring where the temperatures were in the 70s... We did lots of outdoor yard things, raking mostly.. moving huge tree limbs that fell on the property from storms and wind which were the norm this past winter. My lungs are still giving me grief.. Jacko thinks its because I've been a couch potato all winter, I;m inclined to agree with him. I would rake ten minutes and take a twenty minute break.. anyway, while I was doing this yard work with my boyo..and best buddy Connaugh tied to his lead, I had lots of time to think about life in Maine, no matter how much I look at things, I cannot fathom spending another winter here in Maine. My undergrad faculty advisor is going to CCSU in New Britain CT. He wants me to apply there... pros..he's there, and I would probably get admitted for a Masters easy enough... its near NYC and Hartford and all things cultural... the only con is winter weather. So I go to CCSU, get my masters then we head to Florida. If we go directly to Florida, the pros are the weather, I have family, and its got lots of stuff to do. The cons are its over a thousand miles to move directly from Maine... I have to reapply to USF and take the damn GRE exams OH..we have to sell our house too we'll figure it out, its all a bit overwhelming right now. Meanwhile, tomorrow I go to Salem MA and attend a Senior and Faculty Brunch, I get my cap and gown...wooohoooo and finally have a docs appt with my pcp.. I haven;t seen my doc since last October for my physical exam.. time for a check up. April is almost behind us, this is Earth week.. love the earth ( we would love to give up our car and use public transportation)..someday soon...Miss you Mr Hugo!

hey mr rossi,
i certainly lean toward CT, but then im not the one shovelling 18 feet of snow in winter.... so florida may be the practical choice... depends if you want to spend the next 10 years in culture or the next 10 years in a things to do city..... the later could get boring quick... i rekon if you write a list of everything you loved about boston, and hated, and the same for maine, you would end up with a good insight in the cct vs fla move..... whince at the thought of the GRE exams... (they sound severe)....
