So you're finally going to move to Canada like you said then?

Nope. Thinking about Rhode Island now... I've never lived on the East Coast and RI seems as good a place as any... Good job prospects for professional programmers in the BosWash corridor...

I'll let you know if and when, and maybe you can help me find a temporary apartment...

Well you are of course quite welcome to my little state but be warned: Taxes are insane here and getting worse.

Spent a long weekend in Providence last year.

I don't remember much of it, but I'm sure it was a lovely place ;)

Yeah Providence does look a lot better than it did 20 years ago that's for sure, but the main architect of that renaissance just got out of jail on a 5 year racketeering conspiracy rap and his replacement is the son of a big mob lawyer so I don't know if it will last.
