It's where I grew up, and where my dad, with whom I have not spoken in 5 or so years lives. A nutshell kind of explanation for that is that relationship has never been real important to my dad, leastwise not relationship with me. When we couldn't get him to come to our wedding, when he didn't call when my first child (or second for that matter) was born, I made the decision that I just needed...
