Hi Jon, thanks very much for the recommendation? I've only been to New England once, when I was pretty young (maybe 6 or 7?), but I remember it being very beautiful. Since then, I've met a bunch of New Englanders and gotten along well with them, including my best friend from Basic Training and two of my good friends from consulting. It would possibly be a tough sell, as my wife and I have both been raised with "yankee" as a bad word, but we'll see how things go, and if I do need further info, I'll take you up on your generous offer to reach out.

Cheers,
Jeff
