Flannigan... you were from Rochester, NY? I'm from Rochester!

Yup, I used to live in West Henrietta, less than 10 minutes driving time to RIT, where I taught and also got my 3rd degree (MS in Software Development & Management).

I grew up in South Carolina, and Rochester NY was supposed to be a temporary thing in my life but I ended up staying there for 15 years, for two reasons - my career got its legs there, and I also met my wife-to-be there.

By the 15th year, I hated it there so much (95% of it for climate reasons) that I took the first opportunity outside Rochester that arisen.. I don't mind moving from a rainy place to another as long as it's warmer.. but good thing it's completely opposite here in Roseville, California (outside Sacramento area). A week or two ago, we went past at least 20 days of 100+ degree weather.. and we made the right choice of buying a house with a swimming pool! We as a family couldn't be more happier, climate-wiser.

What were you doing in Rochester NY.. working, living, or studying?

What word (s) did you search for to find BTP on Goggle? And how far down the list were we?

Ice,

For what it's worth, I remember finding UPF thru a Google search of "Poker Forum" over a year or 2 ago. I think it was the first or second one that was listed. I found your posts there to be very intelligent and followed to here. I dont read UPF nearly as much as here nowadays but I did find your site thru there. The word of mouth your site got there was what led me to check it out.

Thats just my own info to pass along......

I finally remembered I made a comment in here about you being from Rochester, NY. I hope you enjoyed the month suspense for this answer!

I've lived in Rochester since I was three years old. Currently, I'm in Binghamton, NY for college, but during semester breaks I return "home" to Rochester. I wish I picked a different school than Binghamton, but it's my senior year now and I might as well finish it.

Here's what I know so far... I don't like Rochester. So many of the people there are bitter and miserable. And having the highest crime rate per capita isn't pleasant. I also don't like Binghamton. I'm thinking about eventually moving to Oregon. To say the least, I like rain. But I do not like hot weather.
