A Year In Pictures Following The Break-Up

In high school and college I remember Tom and I always planned to move to different cities every couple years, constantly moving on to new parts of the country. As I got older, though, I started to see the subtle pessimism of that idea, assuming that no place would make me happy enough to stay.

I went off to grad school in Arizona. Tom went off to grad school in Minneapolis. Tom found that Minneapolis felt like home. Later, Chicago felt like home for me.

Tom: I don't know if Chicago is that place for me. I miss Minneapolis. Steph loves Minneapolis, but it's too far from home. Someday we'll either end up back in Minneapolis or Ohio. Ohio would be okay, but it would be a solitary life. Me, my home, my family... that's it. Either way, we're not moving anytime soon.

The good news is... Tom found his missing 'D' CDs. "They were in a shoebox."
