EDITOR’S NOTE: Here’s part two of that awesome Cleveland tourism youtube. Cannot. Stop. Laughing.

Some of you have been asking, so here’s an update on my move to California:

It looks like I am going to be starting my new job in June, so I will be around longer than I originally thought.  This actually works out well because I will now be in town at least up until my brother’s wedding in April.  This also gives me a ton of time to clean up the house.

As an aside (and warning), my future sister-in-law Courtney gave me her scanner.  Over the weekend, I scanned a lot of old pictures that I have collected/found during my house cleanup.  I have seriously found boxes that I haven’t even opened since I bought the house in 2003.

I also have to admit that the thought of moving to San Francisco (as opposed to SoCal) still lingers.  It just seems like SF would be a better fit for me.  I am so much more a Bay guy rather than an LA guy.  No city (other than Boston) has ever elicited a response from me like San Francisco.  No matter what happens, I can pretty much guarantee that I will live there before I move back to this area.

One of ways I learned of this response has been from watching “The Bachelor” recently.  And before you say it: I know, I know – the velveeta quotient on the show is off the charts.  I started watching this season because I was instantly smitten after seeing Ali, one of the girls on the show.  Ali grew up in Western Massachusetts and now lives in, you guessed it: San Francisco.   She is probably going to be the bachelorette in the next show, so I will probably be watching that as well.

Deal with it.

“The Bachelor” has great scenery (heh).  Whenever they show the aerial shots of “The City,” I can’t help but think maybe I’d be better off just moving to San Francisco.  This also happens when hear a blurb about an Olympian from the Bay Area, or hear/read something about the city by the bay.  For some reason, I feel a real connection to that place and have ever since my first visit in 2004.

Time will tell where I end up, I guess.

(Oh yeah…..USA! What a win last night.)
