So, if you have made it here then you have stumbled upon my attempt to keep a record of my journey as a Southern man from Jackson, Mississippi (that’s M-I-crooked letter-crooked letter-I-crooked letter-crooked letter-I-hump back-hump back-I for some of you) who is moving to New York City.  My wife, Leslie, will be coming along for the trip as well and we are excited about our chance at some new adventures.  I plan for this blog to be my diary of sorts and would love some feedback and remarks from any and all who may read it.  Right now we are in the “getting ready” phase.  I will start a new job in NYC on April 16, 2007.  I am still in Jackson and my wife and I are getting our house ready to sell.  Leslie is currently teaching a second grade so she will be in Jackson finishing out the school year before moving up to the city.  For the first 6 weeks, I will be staying with a friend and attempting to locate an apartment for us to live in, in Manhattan.  So, the journey has already begun.  We are getting things worked out before the big move and we are both really excited about living in the city for a few years…

Thanks for your time so far and if you have any suggestions about what to expect, I am all ears!

Ben
