That's you?

If so, very cool, I read that on the train on the way in this morning and was thinking, "Great call by those folks."

Also, I was envious of the lunchtime fishing.

Still, none of that really matters on those days when the nearby pond is frozen over and they all get to skate on it after school. ''There are some great views,'' said Douglas, who adapted quickly, ''and the nature trails are great to go on.

''Also, I get to see my mom a lot more.''
Very cool - I'm hoping to drop my standard of living too one day :D

Good work for the familiy! 'Grats to you & your wife! Yer kids will love ya for it (after they are older and when they understand :) )

But wait, no mention on how this site helped influence the decision :D ? Wasn't it MV or Zona or something? :kewl:

Out of curiousity, how does an article like that come to pass?

The women who wrote the article was researching a trend about people leaving good inner city jobs seeking some improved life style change in a rural areas in new england. She had some demographic information that showed which counties were considered "rural" and had shown some growth recently. Dukes county was one of them. She contacted my real-estate agent asking him if he knew of any people like that. He in turn called me and ask if he could give her my # as he thought we fit what she was looking for. After thinking about it I said what the heck and then she interviewed us.
