oh? what area? NJ, for all its faults, will always be "home" for me. :)

I used to live on the McGuire Air Force Base.

Back when I was young. And a boy.

Ha ha! Awkward childhood.

You should totally leave me some love on my last journal post.

[fabmadamj]

Jersey has that effect on people.

It never leaves you.

Occasionally I speak in my "Joisey" voice when I become agitated.

Oh, the joys of colloquial speech.

WOOHOOO!

I know it's very cool that I work for a company that has DP benefits available for its employees (with what are, in my mind, not unreasonable hoops to jump through to qualify).

Of course, corporate HQ used to be based in NJ before our division got spun off. Now the "spun off" portion has its HQ in TN, but still with the DP benefits.

Somehow, unfortunately, I don't see TN being state #3 though... :(
