I really, really would love to, but my logical side can't see the logistics in doing so.

Your credit's just as shot in Missouri as it is in Florida. And you don't have a job in Missouri just like you don't have a job in Florida (unless I missed something on that tryout you had). So what's the difference? A two-day drive? With the potential payoff of living in a place that you've fallen in love with?

We all have our own priorities and values, but I can say that I've never felt better than the day that I drove a Ryder truck across the Missouri state line and left everything behind to start a new life. It's very cleansing; almost like being reborn, but on your own terms this time.
