I'm sensing a little hostility about your time in upstate New York. You might want to speak to someone about that problem.

Someone that lives in Upstate New York.

Hostility? No.

Frustration? Yes. That's why I left in 2004. I didn't say it was a terrible place to live just a tough place for a single outsider, like myself at the time. If you're married, I would say it is a wonderful place to have and raise kids.
