"Most of my family, friends and business network reside in the Washington DC area, so the right decision seems to be: stay in the Washington DC area where I will remain in close contact with family, friends and other connections, and will also know enough about the area and the area's activities to quickly grow my connections and build up a client base. But there are other considerations."

"People are usually more convinced by reasons they discovered themselves than by those found out by others."
- Blaise Pascal

"You cannot reason people out of a position that they did not reason themselves into."
- Ben Goldacre, Bad Science

- Lyndon B. Johnson
