The other day, I mentioned that Wifey, Turkey, Mookie, Bogey and myself had decided to "return home." This is not entirely true.
While it IS true that we will be within the confines of the NYC metro area, familial logistics, cost-of-living, quality of schools, etc. have forced our hand into making a major decision.
Based on our families, friends, financials and the like, we are moving to...
... New Jersey.
Yes, the same New Jersey that I have lambasted for years. The same New Jersey that has been the butt of more of my jokes than Kate Gosselin. The same New Jersey that has been the subject of more than one of these very posts.
Because -- and this may be the only time you ever hear these words together -- New Jersey just makes sense for us.
Wifey's family is in Philly. Mine is on Long Island. Our friends are in the city. Our family needs a yard. Yes, despite looks into a lot of different areas, New Jersey is where my family will soon call *gulp* home.
Start taking potshots..........now.

Ah, the garden state! The one reason you're going to have a nice green front yard is beacuse the total area is SHIT, and thus has plenty of fertilizer! (kidding)
Too bad I don't live closer Brad, or I'd offer to help you move.
Well, if you're willing to pony up the cash for a round trip airline ticket I might still consider it, but other than that, best wishes!
Heh. Better bend over - all those NJ slams you've made in the past will now be happily munching on your nether region.
We used to do a lot of dog shows in NJ - the areas were beautiful - it's not the Garden State for nothing! Enjoy your new homestead.
:)
jersey has a way of sucking you in... get used to it, my dear. brad bortone, jersey boy... too freaking funny!
Well you certainly have the names for Jersey.....maybe Mookie can meet up with Snookie and party on the shore ;-)
