[Brilliant]

I was raised in Michigan. I now live in Florida, primarily because when I entered the job market 25 years ago, I realized that Michigan was not a good place to look for a job.

There are some days when I still get homesick, but my wife would never let me move back. She’s a native Floridian, which is very rare these days.

I was raised in Michigan.

Then you understand. It's a beautiful state and far more conservative than our senate representation makes it appear. At 42 years old my roots are firmly planted in the rocky soil of the Irish hills.
