I still don't understand what you want to do that you can't do in Connecticut.

I actually do find Connecticut a little slow--I moved away--but looking back on my time there, I realize that I simply didn't take proper advantage of the opportunities I had.

If I moved back, I'd be at Real Artways everyone weekend, buy season subscriptions to the Hartford Stage, find some weed-and-music buddies and my life would be full.

90 minutes to Boston. Two hours to NYC. One of the best regional theatre scenes in the country. Toad's Place is a nationally famous venue for music. Real Artways in Hartford. The Atheneum is an astonishingly good museum for a city the size of Hartford. Weed is legal. Northampton is 40 minutes away.

What is is that you want to do that you can't do?

Because CT has an educated and self-aware populace that understands the fundamentals of self-care and psychological treatment.

I now live in suburban DC and this place has more stress by orders of magnitude than Connecticut. Not for me--I'm a nobody--but yesterday I was driving through the city at 11pm and I saw some young guy in a suit--undoubtedly an attorney or staffer--emerging from the office to get on his scooter. Everyone here is super Type-A, and it's not healthy.

The same probably applies to Silicon Valley and Manhattan.

Connecticut is a cake-walk.
