Man, been out here for 7 years now, going on 8, and I can't even fathom still being in Chicago. I don't know how so many people last there. A have a few other good friends there who want out bad, but they just don't do it.
It ain't easy breaking away, but it was one of the best decisions of my life. It's so much nicer out west. Do it, Gil!
