I miss Philly like crazy. When I think of when I used to be there, walking around, knowing where all the Rite-Aid's and Super-Fresh's were, it feels surreal. Like I used to know and live in that place in a prior lifetime. The weather report I see on yahoo.com makes no sense to me, although it was my guiding light each morning for 4 years. 

As much as I want to be back there and I'm trying to come up with ideas to achieve that objective, I am overwhelmed by the number of hoops I have to jump through to even stand a decent shot at making it back. It's proving tough to not lose hope every now and then.

I get that way about a few places I've lived: Leeds (UK), Austin, Anchorage, Yonezawa (Japan). I can remember certain obscure details with absolute clarity and a helluva lot of fondness. Whereas, other places I've lived--San Jose, Tempe, Los Angeles--meh. I can remember things, but with little detail and little emotion.

When I interviewed with a black-robed type in Philly a few years ago (feels like decades), I remember thinking (a) it was the most unhealthy city I've ever been to (lots of smoking, pollution, heavy drinking and heavy food) and (b) that it would be a very fun city to be single in.
