After 12 years my wife still refers to kc as home, I quit that thinking the day I left.
Oh well gotta go, time to jump in the boat and go catch some snook and drink a few cold one's.

Well, I'm from the beach too, and I'm as close as I want to ever be again to it. So to each his own I guess. I have kids and other than Somalia, I can't think of a worse environment to raise your kid in really. OK, a bad annalogy, but Somalia was pretty ****ed up! And I'm no church-guy either. I only know that "beach" means distractions your kids prolly don't need to help them get better. And like you, I made the choice to leave, but in my case I left the coast (because I had kids). Perhaps later I'll go back (LOL, nope, just joking, I can fly there for cheap and leave it behind!), but not as long as I have kids I'll avoid "the beach."
But props to you for finding what you love.
