Fuffle, move to NC and let's start a band :)

Dude, we're considering doing pretty much exactly that sometime in the next year. If we pull the trigger on the NC move, you'll be one of the first to know.

That's great! The triangle area?

Not quite. Asheville. On the shortlist of three potentials, but it's still our first choice, give or take cost of living. We're trying to engineer some situation in which we could actually afford it, we'll see.

Asheville is a beautiful town. I've spent quite a bit of time in that neck of the woods. Gotta respect a place where the Avett Brothers are bigger than Jesus.

So far as I can tell, their whole music scene is pretty great over there.

That's right, sorry I had forgotten that. I'm not in Asheville too often but my in-laws live in a small town called Waynesville near Maggie Valley which is pretty close. Asheville is a great town, I can see the appeal.

Yeah, the trick is finding a place out east (which is where my wife's family is centered) that feels like a place out west (where I grew up and where my heart is). Out of all the places we've looked, Asheville just fits the bill. Although we do have some friends in the Raleigh-Durham area who swear by it. I hear NC in general is just a great place to live.

Alright then, Raleigh Durham it is. See you soon neighbor.

Haha, there's that ol' southern hospitality!
