As of 4:45 this afternoon, I became an official citizen of the state of Massachusetts. I now have a (temporary) driver's license and am registered to vote here. As someone who has been a proud Texas citizen for almost 27 years, this is kind of a sad day. Massachusetts does have some great qualities, of course, but no one ever wrote a song called "God Blessed Massachusetts." At least I'm still a proud Texas Longhorn.
Excuse me as I wallow.
