This is great info. I work at home. One of my clients is a recruiter for attorneys. I do a lot of recruiting in DC since it has the highest concentration of lawyers in the US. I do volunteer for the local DNC chapter here as well as the library as a reading tutor. I love politics, but I’m not “in” politics.

Thanks for the FL idea. I do LOVE the beach! I lived in Tallahassee for a few years and hated it, but I consider that part of FL to be GA in it’s weather and terrain. I haven’t been to the Tampa/St Pete area for awhile. I get worried I’d get bored. I was never bored when I lived in Chicago. Beach, museums, theater, movies, restaurants. I only have the beach now in a small town and I’m pulling my hair out.

The cold doesn’t bother me. It’s much colder here in the Chicago area that DC. I’d like to volunteer for a non-proft. Maybe 10 hours a week. I did a lot of fundraising in Chicago and I loved it. Also volunteered on the children’s floor at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago. When you see kids in little wheelchairs who just lost limbs, it changes your world. I do love the occasional rally as well. The Women’s March in Chicago was just this past weekend. I’m only an hour away now.

A car is rough in any city. I’d still keep mine. When I lived in downtown Chicago by the lake I had a car and it was a pain. Tickets. Getting towed. Not being able to find a spot. I read DC has a great public transportation and it’s so walkable like Chicago or NY.
