The best answer is it seemed like a good idea at the time. It was my decision. I work for Mazda's ad agency - Mazda is out here. It was excellent for my career. I ride bikes - the weather is always great, and it is, for all my carping, beautiful here.
I had never lived anywhere else but Michigan, and the agency literally did everything for the move - I barely lifted a finger. They even grabbed my car. It was an opportunity to change the scenery at no cost to myself. At least, monetarily.
But that was five years ago. Was I glad I did it? I suppose. Will I go back? Maybe...
