Also, we weren’t sure how to approach this, since this whole blogging protocol is so new, but there’s a really good thread about our Brain Drain Chronicles going on at the online community FresnoFamous.com.

We put the link in one of our comments, but it’s too hard to see, so here it is for those on the run.

Also, we’re probably speaking to the choir, but another place where engaged citizens could discuss issues raised by the interviews is Creative Fresno’s Mindhub, an email list-serve you can sign up for here.

For some reason that mimics our entire nerdy childhoods, people would rather talk about us, than to us. And maybe that’s why we left you, Fresno cool crowd. That’s right, we left Y-O-U. (And just so you know we’re now super-skinny and much hotter than when we left.)

Kidding aside, we understand that sometimes it makes sense to talk to a crowd of friends versus a super-square couple you haven’t met. That’s why we have each other, and as we always say, “@7 l3@57 We GoTz EaCh 07H3R “

We’re a couple of Valley natives living in Philadelphia. The dreary winter and drawn out spring has us dreaming about home. To help appease thelonging, here’s a list of what I miss the most.

1. Sunshine

2. The option of wearing socks or jackets.

3. View of my upper arms.

4. Taquerias

5. In-person family visits in 30 minutes or less.

Have you ever left home to much fanfare and realized you missed the Valley too? What was it that you missed?
