Warning: New York chauvinism coming up

I went to a little work-related function tonight at Morton's (let me just say, yum, to the mini cheesburgers), and ran into someone I used to work with, which is one of the pleasures - or dangers, I suppose - of toiling in a relatively small field with a somewhat incestuous social circle.

Anyway, we were chatting and she told me that our ex-boss is now living in South Carolina and working in real estate.

I don't know what seemed more disturbing to me. That he's working in real estate, or is banished to South Carolina.
