What are the closest "affordable" areas, do you think? New Brunswick? Pennsylvania?

Well, I was a phone-a-friend on "Millionaire" and won more than he did in one question. Shouldn't I get something?

Yes. I just don't know what.
 
Oh, do tell, Junkie. I'm all ears ;)

According to the pipeline, two interviews are already in the books, including one with former Golfweek editor Dave Seanor, who was cashiered for being the architect of the infamous noose cover during the whole Kelly Tilghman/Golf Channel flap.
