Been watching this thread on a few levels, foremost being my decision to put my home on the market and leave CT for Spartanburg, SC last year. On another level, Big Poppy has been an absolutely awesome guy to me and my TBA. I can't help think about how my enthusiasm for getting out of CT rubbed off on him and how he may still come to his senses and choose Upstate SC, out of the evil wind (and homeowner's insurance) of the coast.
Things do have a way of working out and it was not lost on John or me the signifigance that the day I finally sold my house here was the day I got terminated from my job. Yup, it's true.
So for all of you in the thread, thinking about change, let me pass on what I said to Big Poppy (with apologies to Goethe for paraphrasing):
Commit yourself to a course of action and things will fall into place you never dreamed could occur. Boldness has genius in it. Begin now.
