425 miles by road up to McKinney where my wife and I are from. We'd love to be back there (that's our goal) but, unfortunately, I would have to take a significant paycut due to my field. Looks like we are going to have to settle for the Houston area, but at least it's closer than where we are now.

About a thousand miles, but not far enough. It took a couple of years of work to eliminate my accent from the area. Jethro Bodine would sound like an intellectual when compared against the local accent.

a couple thousand miles from Texas.

my folks moved away from home after my brother and sister and I moved out. All but one of my friends moved away, and I was in the army. For a decade, I I felt like a Ronin. A wandering swordsman with no master or home.
It was sort of depressing at first, but then became really freeing.

Without the use of the interwebz, Southern CA (Newport Beach) to Upstate SC and my guess is 2500 miles and some change. Entire familial Clan including chillrens in CA except one who is going to school in Taiwan (son).

No Basements in CA, so fuck! I had to leave my den of Cheetos and Mountain dew fort at a early age.

First time I came to LA I noticed no basements or attics. I asked my future wife, "But where do you put all your stuff?"

She just said, "We don't have stuff".

Wow. Ever drive to the old house at the end of the day out of habit? My mother lived in the same place since I was 16....about thirty years. She finally bought a house across the street from my high school, but whenever I go home to visit I instinctively start driving to her old apartment.

It's 596 miles on the dot from where I was born to where I sit now.

I grew up all over the place though. I've moved around a bit since first settling here but tallied up it's where I've been longest.

Right now about 270 miles. In the past, about 1,100.

I'm glad I'm closer right now, my mom is getting on in years and I go to Jax with regularity. Although I wouldn't be averse to moving elsewhere.
