A few years ago someone mocked an opinion I expressed on CB as coming from someone who had never been out of Utah outside of my mission. At the time I was living in Phoenix. It made me laugh. For some reason I thought about that on my walk home from work this evening. I think I have a pretty diverse back ground for a Davis County kid. I have lived in Tokyo, Manila, New York City, Phoenix, both Portland, OR and ME (Portland, ME is pretty small) SLC, Boise and Spokane. I've lived in all of these cities at least a year outside of Tokyo which was only three months. Not bad for 37 years. I want to add a large European city at some point and one in either Brazil or Argentina also.

London - it is the most amazing city, loved it.
Seattle - 2nd fav big city. Best places to eat, things to do, etc.
Savannah - great experience
Dallas/Ft. Worth - fun, but in Texas, you are so isolated, so far away from everything."Newton's First Law of Motion: ...things at rest tend to stay at rest. Things in motion, tend to stay in motion...."

I may be small, but I'm slow.

I've been there and the historical area is absolutely gorgeous.Originally posted by Borg View Post"Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. UchtdorfComment
