Marc,

Cali is awesome if you dont mind driving. Not like Boston, where you hop on a t and go anywhere.

Very nice whaeter IMHO. Winters it just rains.

Ft Lauderdale OMG, give me a fucking break. What club is good? Colisseum I think. Big deal. Lots of dummpy places dirt cheap. Hell yes. Like living in the bad part of Roxbury in Boston. And it takes a certian person to deal with the heat and hurricanes and rain and all that.

Everyone has a comfort zone. Don't be afraid to break it.

In life you regret the things you didn't do more than the things you did and may have failed at.

Just from what I know of you, you will be fine. You have the drive. That's what counts.
