Geoff, I can't say I have heard Tom's River before. You've been there all your life?


Anyway, even though I'm in California now for 27 years, it's Grand Rapids Michigan that's home for me I was born and raised there.

For those who don't know Michigan is the "Great Lakes" state. I remember many times in the heat of summer my dad would take us to a different lake each time we went swimming. There is no shortage that's for sure. \:\) Also, did you know that Grand Rapids, the second largest city (Detroit being the largest), is the Furniture Capital?

I was pleased when I was there last month, as we drove downtown to the hospital, how nicely they are refurbishing the area. I do hope they keep some of the older buidlings though for history's sake. There is always something neat about them to me.
