For a couple years of our marriage she was going to graduate school in Boston. I was working in Springfield but was spending a lot of time setting up systems at customer sites. She would fly to Chicago, Toronto, or wherever I was and we would have a fun filled weekend. Then she graduated, got a job in the Springfield area, and I was spending more time in the office. Domestic bliss wasn't in the cards. Part of it was she had her career, I had mine, and they weren't geographically compatible. She wound up at Columbia and I wound up in the Rockies. We talked about getting back together a couple of times but by then she was rooted in NYC and no way was I going back east.
