Where should I go?

R1 Universities?Rochester and Syracuse? Is Cornell considered upstate?

Don't really know.

Cornell is most definately Upstate...smack dab, as it were.

What is R1, btw? (I'm assuming top-tier research, but what do I know -
I drink grenache?!)

The only kind of place where I'm likely to get a job.

Best oysters ever. Mmmmmmushrooms, of many kinds. All kinds of root veggies and squashes. Cider. And a bunch of non-seasonal stuff, like hams and cheeses and jellies.

All of that in the Bay Area in February. Plus the dizzying array of citrus fruits that make my eyes bleed. Dates and persimmons as well, although the season for those starts to end around that time.

Ah. I thought the question was "do you have a penis", not "prove that your penis is bigger than mine."

I stand corrected.

And yes, apples.

Not into the Washington apples, big (in size, like jumbo's), juicy, sweet, simple flavors - almost spoofulated.

We keep the good ones for ourselves. Or, I've never seen them out-of-state (well, maybe in Portland).
 
I know it might not be as exciting as NY but perhaps the DC area might be worth considering... There are some good schools nearby (Georgetown, AU, George Mason, UMD, and UVA a bit further), plus a bunch of other stuff - think tanks, policy related stuff, etc. Not sure what exactly you are looking for but there are a few other board members that might be able to suggest some options.

You talking to me or Putnam?

Being another denizen of what most of the country calls an economic baslet case
(Upstate NY, in case you ask), I give you credit for staying the course. What is
so wrong about staying in a place you like but maybe not as fashionable as the other addresses of the other hip geeks here? You're the guy who has those wild hunting parties drinking barolo, right? Come east, I say. But not to the east of the fast growing sunbelt where pigs are grown in 1000-pen farms and a cesspool tank of excrement to match, or to the east of overpriced housing (yes, even still) of Florida or the Carolina coast, or to the suited capitol of the Republic. Nah, skip all that and some to where the air is clean, the water pure, and their are mountains and fields to climb and hunt in. Of course, I mean my own backyard: Central NY. You already love (or can deal with) winter, the northern latitudes suit you, and the people here have an orneryness that will welcome lost souls. Oh the places you will go, until you've found (or it finds you), Home.
Alright, so Mark comes the closest. You have to go a little beyond Central New York. Get right up into St. Lawrence, Franklin, or Clinton Counties. We're talking northern New York. Someone from Detroit might appreciate the hardscrabble, welfare-based economy. I know this place on a little country road south of Gouverneur, this little ramshackle liquour store. You want to be in the wine business? Buy that and you've got yourself a New York State retail license for wine and spirits.

Them's crap apples you're eating, my man.
 
Va or DC.

Mostly recession proof.

And you could be part of the schnook system here and sell wines from Puzelat and Massa Vecchia.

Williams Corner is hiring!

I wish I still had that penis.

Time for you to put King Missile's "Detachable Penis" on the iPod.

Thanks for all the replies.

It may take a month or few before anything happens, but I will remember this.

Feel free to contact me over email for specific opportunities in the wine business around here.
