Hey, sorry about your mother and that you feel so tied down here. I'm not planning to move to New Hampshire any time soon... but the Free State Project is only just barely getting off the ground... if I understand it correctly, they're looking for people to commit to moving there within 5 years of December 2006. So that gives some leeway.
I've lived in the northwest almost all my life, and I thought I had an aversion to the E coast too, until I took a trip to upstate New York last year (Ithaca and Rochester area). It's BEAUTIFUL there, very much like Oregon (although it does get a lot colder, of course).
