Go ahead and see the world have a ball, but mark these words from an older if not wiser stranger. One day you will be some where about to put a pink tasteless tomato in your mouth and you will long for the garden state, you will feel the first hot rush of summer and will wish you were stuck in traffic on the parkway.

The state bore you and laid the grown work for what you will become.

All the best to you.

Amen,great post!Same here moved away 28 years ago and hopfully I can retire back there one day.
