Could be a whole lot worse. A friend of mine has similar tension, and just started grad school in Boston...but her other location in Berkeley, CA. Boston and southern VT are only a few hours apart.
That said, this is still a difficult dilemma, to which I can't suggest a good solution.
The upshot is that you've done a variation on this theme before, and that Boston/Bratt isn't much farther apart than NYC/Gfield. Are you coming to kid-counting tonight? Talk to K! (And see my Granny!)
Do they offer correspondence classes? :-)
Actually, I'm happy to report that Boston/Bratt is significantly closer than NYC/Gfield. I guess the solution to my problem really is Rt 2.
In some perspectives (i.e. mine), Boston-Bratt is commuting distance. Going home isn't a big deal at all.
solutions:
(a) go to grad school
(b) I think we should work something out
(c) rehearse at Adam's, that seems relatively equidistant
(d) discuss. Something will come out of it.
(e) See "commute," above
(f) so play!
(g) Pell grant?
(h) see (e). Every Monday & Thursday in Concord, too.
umm, hello people--the correct answer is that you should CLEARLY move to Boone, NC so that you can be close to us--that will solve all of your problems! :) tehe--but more seriously, you can totally do the Rte. 2 commute--I bet you can even find people to commute with!
Well, I don't have any great wisdom to offer, but I offer my solidarity/support.
How about drop everything and move to New Orleans with your bass? I see you between the tennis shoe tap dancer and the creepy statue guy.
